Abstract
The article focuses on the constructed essence of the identity. Mary Bucholtz and Kira Hall study the identity as constructed in linguistic interaction. The authors propose principles of the construction of the identity. There are five principles: the emergence principle, the positionality principle, the indexicality principle, the relationality principle, the partialness principle. The paper proposes the principle of the emotive constructing of the identity of the children’s poet. Genesis, determination and representation of the identity of the children’s poet are described. The genesis of the identity of the children’s poet takes place in the process of interaction with the particular cultural and social environment in which the author creates, it is conditioned by previous experience, system of views, opnions and values of the author’s personality, it is actualized by the internal stimuli. The identity of the children’s poet is determined by creative activity, an unusual way of life, a unique way of interaction with the world which are implemented both at the level of language and at the level of emotions. Children’s poems of the author, as a type of creative and linguistic activity, are products of the poet’s creative activity. The creative activity of the children’s poet is represented through "Image I" which includes cognitive, affective and behavioural components. In this way the "emotive-I" of the children’s poet is constructed. The article identifies the types of "emotive-I" of the identity of the English-language children’s poet, such as Kenn Nesbitt: "humourist", "joker", "prankster". Kenn Nesbit’s children’s poetry is filled with optimism, cheerfulness, positive motives and aims that help to form the emotional sphere of young readers. One of the main characteristics of the poetic texts of the author is their concreteness, which is manifested in the majority of nouns with specific meaning and verbs in the denotation of motor activity, qualitative adjectives (size, colour, form of objects, etc.), cardinal numerals, the absence of abstract concepts; saturation by simple sentences, complicated by homogeneous pars, the dominated amount of declarative and exclamatory sentences. The analysis of the illustrative material shows that the "optimist" as a type of "emotive-I" of the identity of the children’s poet is represented by the above-mentioned linguistic and stylistic peculiarities. Thus, the results of the study indicate the possibility of distinguishing "optimist", generalize such types of "emotive-I" of the identity of Kenn Nesbitt as "humourist", "joker", "prankster".
