Abstract

The linguistic exponents of the colour red in Julian Tuwim’s poetry are both primary and secondary names of the colour red, with the latter dominated by expressions referring to the prototypes of fi re and blood. For the sake of creating poetic images of human appearance, his physiology and emotions Tuwim used conventional connotations of the colour red. However, what draws attention is the poet’s proneness to the description of morbidity and ugliness. Additionally, the colour red and its synonymous names were used for the linguistic creation of political events and the description of nature. What is interesting is the phenomenon of frequent occurrence of the colour discussed in the autothematic poems, in which the colour refl ects unusual fervency of the poetic affl atus and the toil of creative work.
