Primary interjections in Goethe’s poems

The article studies problems of functioning of primary interjections in German poetic texts. Their use in poetic texts concerns peculiarities of poetry as a genre and communicative potential of the considered items. Interjections create the illusion of face-to-face interaction and having the emotive function they increase emotionality of poetic texts. In Goethe's poems interjections function as the meaning-and-text forming items, they also participate in rhythmical and compositional organization of the text.
