Syntactic indicating devices of implicats in the poetic discourse of R.M. Rilke

Abstract

In this paper syntactic indicating devices of implicats in the poetic discourse of R.M. Rilke are outlined. Implicat is a fictional concept, which being implicitly expressed in the fiction text, is actualized based on language indicating devices and discoursive context. The syntactic indicating devices in the poetic discourse of R.M. Rilke are: enjambement, repetition, syntactic parallelism, antithesis, chiasmus, inversion, apposition, parenthesis, address, ellipsis, rhetorical questions. They constitute strong text positions and demonstrate a close connection with other types of language indicating devices, first of all phonological and lexical ones.
