Keywords:
allusion, intertextuality, linguopoetics, literary text, semantics, pragmatics.Abstract
This article analyzes the approaches presented in the works of three main sources of allusion theory—Ziva Ben-Porat (1976), Carmela Perry (1978), and William Irwin (2001). The aim is to comparatively review the definitions and theoretical models of these three scholars and to establish a methodological framework for the linguopoetic study of allusion.
