Summary/Abstract: In Jonathan Culler’s theoretical descriptions of lyric, the apostrophe is seen as an essential and endemic feature through which some of the constitutive features of this genre are manifested. Starting from these theoretical premises, the purpose of the article is to interpret the apostrophe in Kocho Racin's poetry collection White Dawns. The interpretive focus is placed on two levels: first, on the role of the apostrophe as a mechanism through which the "intratextual communicativeness" (Yuri Levin) is articulated in the poem; secondly, on the function of the apostrophe in the creation of “egotive-appellative “(Yuri Levin) lyrical models in Racine's poetry.
