Representation of myth-creating in the form of author’s language cognition in the poem of D. Constantine “Orphic”

The purpose of the study is to identify lexical-stylistic and grammatical methods of linguistic representation of myth-creating in the poem “Orphic” by the British poet D. Constantine. The research novelty consists in the fact that the following linguistic means of expressing myth- creating as a method of artistic cognition have been established: metaphors; augmented allusion, based on cultural and historical precedents that receive new characteristics; stylistic eclecticism and impersonal myth, in which the author hints at well-known images with the help of recognizable characteristics of the characters, without naming the heroes. As a result, myth-creating is defined as a special cognitive practice that has a unique linguistic expression, which consists in the use of author's linguistic means as well as an innovative mixture of styles that allows you to fit a classic myth into a modern context and gives it a new artistic meaning.
