Linguistic and Cognitive Properties of the Process of Perspectivization in Contemporary Lyrics (On the Example of “Bohemian Rhapsody”)

Abstract

The present paper is a continuation of the study of linguistic and cognitive properties of perspectivization treated as an inseparable part of the process of constructing of meaning in text and discourse. The author shows typological proximity of such terms as “perspectivization”, “image of the author” and “author’s intentionality”. The lyrics of the cult Bohemian Rhapsody serves an example of the effectiveness of the theory of pespectivization in tackling the problems of text polyphony and linguistic ambiguity.
