Summary/Abstract: The author in his article takes up the problem of repetition seen as a mode of poetic expression organisation and analyses its specific functions in Eugeniusz Tkaczyszyn-Dycki’s creativity. Referring to such scholars as, inter alia, Søren Kierkegaard, Jacques Lacan, Agata Bielik-Robson, Aleksandra Okopień-Sławińska, and Lucylla Pszczołowska, he points at a potential multifunctionality of repetitions. It can be made an element of a text’s musical organisation, serve for certain stylisation functions, reiterate a reflexive stimulus or change the lyrical narration direction via expressively or meaningfully accentuate a given expression, express the speaking person’s mental state, etc. Resorting to an original reading of Lacan’s theory by Agata Bielik-Robson, the author offers his own interpretation of functions of repetitions in Eugeniusz Tkaczyszyn-Dycki’s poetry. In his view, repetitions are aimed at poetic expression’s maximal approximation to “primary speech” which mediates between the Real, unsubordinated to symbolisation, and symbolic order, relying first and foremost on logically and reasonably structured language.
