Obrazy mowy (na przykładzie poezji dwudziestowiecznej)
Speech images (on the example of 20th century poetry)

Summary/Abstract: In the present article, the speech image category is, on the one hand, connected to the ways of utilizing in somebody else’s speech in poetry, by which an author communicates with a reader (cited in extenso or subjected to transformation – which depends on the author’s invention and the purpose of literary form); and, on the other hand, it is seen as an effect of an artistic strategy assumed by the author.The analysed Wisława Szymborska’s poem enables showing what the consequences of introducing non-literary speech genres and language naturalized in the public sphere – which acquires connotative meaning in poetry – to the plane of a lyrical text are. On the other hand, observations made in the reading of Janusz Szuber’s poems convince that the author – concentrated on the exterior – gives poetry not a descriptive but a narrative character, thus overcoming subjectivity of pure lyric verse. His poetry morphs into a tale reaching out to the world, becomes an interesting lesson of cultural memory and a lesson of forms and media of memory.
