Abstract

The author studies the functions of the poetic titles in the creative works of the national Belarusian poet Yanka Kupala, whose work is often considered as prophetic and messianic throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. The titles are regarded as the constituents of three different levels of textuality: text, metatext and macrotext, and within the three stages of the poetic text perception: pre-textual, textual and posttextual. The peculiarities of the structure of poetic titles have been revealed in terms of their pragmatic potential. The role of titles in creating poetic images as well as in representation of the entire poet’s ancestry is considered through the prism of their syntactical form. The system of title making in the poetry of Yanka Kupala has been revealed with the emphasis on titles-addresses and titles-sources as models for provoking readers’ cognitive work in the process of poetry perception.
