Abstract
The paper considers the role of lingvo-poetic iconicity in providing the imagery of literary prose, in particular the symbolic novels by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Given the nature of the phenomenon under study, the cognitive linguistics and poetics principles of analysis, including the existing classification of poetic iconicity, were chosen as the methodological background of the research. The primary iconicity, which consists in the mental association of words with a number of other words that contain a certain phone or phonological unit, is embodied in the text under analysis as the metonymic abbreviation of the initial letter "A". Iconic phonaesthesia, secondary associative iconicity, which is motivated by the links between forms, each expressing a certain meaning, consists in the co-sensation of a particular color that arises by the letter "A" perception. In the studied text lingvo-poetic iconicity, represented at the phonological and morphological levels, serves as one of the basic mechanisms for providing imagery.
