ОНОМАСТИЧЕСКАЯ ЦИТАТА КАК ОДНА ИЗ ФОРМ ВЫРАЖЕНИЯ ИНТЕРТЕКСТУАЛЬНЫХ ОТНОШЕНИЙ В ПОЭТИЧЕСКОМ ДИСКУРСЕ

Abstract

In the framework of anthropocentric linguistics, the phenomenon of intertextuality is defined as a category of the text, being an element of culture, and is reckoned as one of the ways to express the author’s “I” while interacting with other texts and their authors. In this paper, which studies the ways of revealing intertextuality within the poetic discourse, an onomastic citation is considered as one of the means of expression of intertextual connections in the poetic text. Various approaches to understanding of this phenomenon that represents a frequent type of citations in the fiction texts are analyzed. The correlation between onomastic citation and the proper name is established. The work raises the question about the mechanism of actualization of a citation-name in a poetic text. Based on the example of Heinrich Heine’s epic poem “Germany. The winter tale”, different types of onomastic citation are considered, ontological features and functions of the given stylistic device in the poetic work of a large scale genre are described. As a result of the conducted research, the author comes to the conclusion about the dominant role of the meaning making function of the onomastic citation in the analyzed work, and about the author’s usage of this kind of references as a means of demonstration of intertextual connections in the poetic discourse. Addressing to the precedential names by using onomastic citations and appealing at the same time to the background knowledge of the reader, H. Heine enriches his text with reminiscent context, since onomastic citations are one of the ways of accumulating the reminiscent context and its implementation in the text. The correlation of the described fact or character with other already known historical personalities allows the author to attract additional connotations to the created images and, thus, expand the semantic potential of the poetic expression.
