The Poetics of Amplification in the Poetry of J. Brodsky
The article is devoted to the study of amplification, which in Brodsky's poetry acts in the following main functions: cataloguing of impressions, expression of totality, transfer of actions and events of life, variation of a key image. It is beyond rhetorical reception, performing important semantic and composite functions. Constructions with cetera are often used in an abbreviated form and create effect of distancing in the poetic speech. They act in functions of designation of similar, decrease in pathos of the statement, marking of the most significant metaphor, default marking.
