AMBIGUITY IN POETIC TEXTS: DEFINITION, TYPES, AND FUNCTION

"Ambivalence refers to the simultaneous combination of two opposite attitudes, ideas, etc., towards a person, a thing, etc. this study attempts to trove not only that ambiguity is a semantic-pragmatic device, but also that it is a result of certain stylistic deviations from the norm of the Linguistic levels of Language. The study also hypothesizes that ambiguity in poetic texts highly affects meaning, semantic deviation is the most frequent type which creates different types of ambivalence. Furthermore, the article focuses on the pivotal place of ambiguity that modernist critical theory ascribed to ambiguity in the definition of meaning and structure in poetry. In particular, we consider the way in which the category of experience is deployed in the discourse of ambiguity but is limited to only certain narratives of so-called experience. We argue for a contemporary practice less focused on ambiguity and more on notation and provisional structure, demonstrating key elements in poems. "
