KozlovskaiaArina(St Petersburg State University, Russia). Intertextuality in the feminist posters
The research presents an attempt to analyse functional-pragmatic features of indirect speech acts in compositions of modern English and American poets. The author regards speech acts in poems, finding the percentage ratio of their different types. The object of the article consists in determination of prevalent tendencies to directness/figurativeness in English poetry of the XXIth century. Proceeding from the findings of the study, we note the tendency of the most representatives of modern English poetry to parable and to extensive use of allegories. This trend, in our point of view, is a consequence of the national characteristics of English writers, as well as living conditions in modern society that forces a person to live permanently with other people unfamiliar to him. As a consequence, it appeals to the readiness to protect himself and his inner world from any external encroachment. In the poetic works under analysis, allegories are based on the use of indirect speech acts, mainly with a transposition of directive, quesitive and expressive illocutionary force.
