Abstract

The article attempted to analyze vocabulary connected with a semantic circle of water in the collection of poems “Pocałunki” / “Kisses”/ by Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska. The author paid attention to specific connections between individual words and revealed not only innovative but also conventionalized elements of the artistic text. Besides, lexical elements that indicate values and connote specific emotions and imaginations which by referring to both popular knowledge of the world and certain symbols and cultural experience create peculiar aura in the text and influence the reader to the greatest extent were analyzed. Particular attention was paid to vocabulary realistically connected with the water semantic field, applied by the poet to name aquatic designates; non-conventionalized extended metaphors of periphrases nature; vocabulary realistically referring to the element of water applied by the poet to describe other phenomena.
