FLORISMS AND THEIR SYMBOLIC REPRESENTATION IN SPANISH FOLK POETRY

Summary/Abstract: The research studies the interpretation of symbolic meaning of some flowers which being poetic elements can be often found in the Spanish folk songs, poems and poetry. In the artistic communication poets reflect their vision of the world which appears in the form of imagines and symbols, both traditional and based on their own associations that generate completely different meanings. Peculiarities of Methodology. In the furtherance of the goal, the author uses some general scientific and special linguistic research methods, in particular: synthesis, analysis, ethnic-national, linguo- genetic, descriptive, comparative, complex-procedural. The use of the complex methods enables to consider florisms and their symbolic representation in the Spanish folk poetry: they contribute to the creation of a specific poetic imagery and expressivity. The conclusion is that florisms in fact occupy one of the leading places in determining the realities of the surrounding world, both with the help of metaphorical constructions, and by means of symbolization.
