FEMALE GRAMMAR IN CONTEMPORARY LATIN AMERICAN WOMEN’S POETRY

Abstract

A study of grammatical phenomena that regularly occur in contemporary Latin American poetry written in Spanish. The works of female poets of many generations from various countries (Venezuela, Cuba, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, Colombia) included in the anthology (Russian Spanish) "Latin American Poetry Today" serve as a basis for this research. The saturation of first-person perspectives gives the impression of a greater importance of the I-text in women's poetry than in men's poetry. It is necessary to recognize the objective difficulties in recreating the "female grammar" when translated into another kind of language. What is most interesting in the subject of feminine grammar are the metalinguistic statements of female poets, which often represent a declaration of a conscious approach to the choice of certain grammatical forms and a demonstration of the importance of the I-text in female poetry than in male poetry. Grammatical forms and a demonstration of the ability of grammatical categories to express a feminist position.
