Abstract

The author of the article discusses the general problems of elitism. Based on the material of linguistic dictionaries, the semantic structure of the single-root words elite, elitism, etc. is described. The elitism of poetic creativity is studied on the material of 189 poetic texts by Wislava Szymborska from the collection “Wiersze wybrane”. Particular attention is paid to proper names functioning in texts, as well as the intellectual and philosophical component of the cognitive space of lyrical texts. In conclusion, the attributes of the elitism of Shimborska’s poetry are given, and the wide recognition of creativity makes it possible to characterize the poet as a representative of the creative elite of the world scale.
