Abstract

This article considers various ways of the author’s self-presentation in Russian rock poetry
(Y. Dyagileva, A. Makarevich, V. Tsoi, Y. Shevchuk). The predominance of the “I–I” subject pattern
is revealed. It is used to express the maximum egocentrism, whereas the directive syntactical units
impose the author’s opinion on the recipient. The author’s “I” not only conveys the author’s stand
but forms the notion of reality. The “I–I” pattern can be altered into the “I–WE” pattern (V. Tsoi).
The indirect self-presentation (the “I–YOU”, “I–HE”/ “WE–THEY” patterns) appears as well.
