Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of the linguistic ways of creating paradox in surrealistic poetry. The research is done on the material of the collection of Automatic poems by the Russian émigré poet Boris Poplavsky. The author outlines the main reasons for the prevalence of paradox in surrealist poetry, examines the ways of creating a paradox in a poetic text, and highlights its structural and semantic features. It is emphasized that the paradoxical nature of surrealistic imagery is determined by the very specifics of the surrealistic mind since the aesthetic system of surrealism is built on antinomies and their overcoming. The language in such poetry changes its function and, destroying the usual semantic connections, helps the reader to see the world in a different way.
