Cognitive linguistic specificity of generating paradoxical poetic senses in modern Anglophone poetry
This article focuses on defining linguistic and cognitive mechanisms of paradoxical poetic imagery creation and paradoxical poetic senses generation in modern Anglophone poetry. It is revealed that the conceptual transgression is the key process of the analyzed imagery formation, which is accompanied by cognitive mechanisms of conceptual blending and conceptual amalgam. It is proved that the latter is implemented via the operations of conceptual absorption and conceptual extrusion. The specificity of paradoxical poetic senses generation is displayed in their tendencies towards precision and diffusion.
