THE PARTIAL AND CONTINUAL ESSENCE OF THE IDENTITY OF THE ENGLISH-LANGUAGE CHILDREN’S POET

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the identity of the children’s poet (based on the example of the English-language children’s poet Theodore Seuss Geisel / Dr. Seuss), which acts as a constructive phenomenon in the process of discursive interactions. The processuality and dynamism of the identity of the children’s poet, shows that the principles of partiality and continuality are the mechanisms of its construction. The construction of the identity can be both conscious and subconscious, deliberate and intentional, habitual, result of interaction, part of the system of others’ perception and representation, the result of ideological processes and structures. Constructing the identity of the children’s poet may be the result of interaction with children. The principle of continuality is an evidence of the development of the identity throughout the life.
