Alliteration and assonance in a poetic text as a reflection of features of author’s individual worldview

the aim of the study devoted to the problem of the sound organization of the poetic text and presented in this article is to identify the functional potential of alliteration and assonance within the limits of poetic discourse. Based on the analysis of the theoretical literature on the issues discussed in the paper, a conclusion is drawn about the multifunctional nature of sound echoes in the poetic text. Based on the analysis of the theoretical literature on the issues discussed in the paper, a conclusion about the multifunctional nature of sound echoes in the poetic text is drawn. The texts of poetic works by English-language poets, representatives of American Romanticism of the 19th century, G. Melville, G.W. Longfellow and W.G. Simms, are used as material for the analysis of the considered phonetic techniques. To solve the tasks set in the work, a number of methods were used: a survey-analytical method to process theoretical literature on the problem under study, the method of continuous sampling to select the factual material for analysis, as well as elements of linguostylistic and interpretative hermeneutical methods to analyse the observed linguistic phenomena. The conducted research, confirming the ability of sound repetitions to fill the text with additional meanings and associative images, indicates their ability to expand the meaningful and semantic space of a poetic work and act as explicators of the author's position due to the specifics of the artist's worldview of the word. The results of the analysis of empirical material allow us to conclude that the phonetic level of the organization of the poetic text correlates with the specifics of the individual author's worldview.
