Oxymoron, poetic, non-poeticAbstract
The article deals with one of the most expressive figures of speech, an oxymoron. Oxymoron can be seen everywhere due to its power to convey subjective attitude. Indeed, the uniqueness of this stylistic device has appealed to writers and poets since the early times. It helps characters to be described in the way that readers fully understand the attitude of a poet and the feelings of characters themselves. The very paper studies factors which distinguish poetic oxymora from non-poetic oxymora in terms of their internal semantic structure. As data a great deal of examples in English and Russian poetry has been used.
