Wilbur’s poetical texts, describes alliterated syntactic constructions identified in the analyzed poems. The author for the first time considers the functioning of alliterative parallelisms in R. Wilbur’s poetical works taking into account extra-linguistic factors, reveals the influence of syntactic and semantic parameters on euphonic accents distribution along poetical text, and herein lies scientific originality of the research. The findings are as follows: the author shows how onomatopoetic, structural and logical functions of alliterative parallelisms correlate with meaningful structure of poetical texts under study.
