As is well known (Chafe 1994), two types of human consciousness can be distinguished, one of which is extraverted consciousness presupposing that each event is thought of as included into relevant context, related to other ‘neighboring’ events, and another one is introverted consciousness, i.e. that representing events in a decontextualized, island-like manner. In the article it is shown that this distinction has immediate bearing upon composition of lyrical discourse, since its foregrounded fragments display a clear tendency towards introverted language.
