Abstract
Starting from the assumption of the significance of verbal omission in the artistic literature this paper is based on the study of interpretative function of ellipsis, allusion and irony in lyrical poetry. Relying on relevant theoretical sources (C. Brooks, K. Guillen, L. Hutcheon, A. William, P. de Man, S. Newstok, H. Van Tress etc.) the paper considers these concepts both as rhetorical figures and structural procedures. Ellipsis is here theoretically considered as intrinsic deficiency, allusion as extrinsic deficinecy, and irony as intrinsic-extrinsic deficiency of possible verbal content. Special attention is paid to (non)verbal context and it's semantic influence as a widespread discursive tool in modern literature and art. As explicative examples the autor took poems of several promminent modern Serbian poets (M. Nastasijevic, S. Raickovic, A. Ristovic). At the end of the paper, the author exposes the theoretical and metodological cosequences of his study.
