Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of the peculiarities of discursive tropes, which are explored on the case study of political poetry of the XXI century, the mechanism of operating the tropes is defined. The main characteristics of discourse tropes in political poetry are described. It suggests a comprehensive methodology for exposing discursive properties of imagery in the frameworks of cognitive and pragmatic paradigm of linguistics. It has been proved that metaphor and metonymy show up their utmost discursive potential. It is maintained the discursive property of metaphor is based on narrative mapping; discursive metonymy is characterized by the referent which exists in discourse. Unlike traditional metaphor and metonymy which are based on analogical mapping, discursive metaphor and metonymy are the result of parabolic thinking and story mapping. It is argued that communicative and pragmatic functions of imagery ensure the perlocutionary effect on the reader and justify social and political orientation of contemporary English and American poetic discourse. The discursive properties of imagery are explained by the peculiarities of the linguistic and creative thinking of the author and the reader, which is due to the socio-political orientation of contemporary poetic discourse.
