Abstract

The article is devoted to bilingualism of the famous Portugal poet
Fernando Pessoa (1888–1935). He bequeathed a corpus of poetic texts in Portuguese
as well as English. Pessoa’s heteronymy (multiple subjectification) allows
not only escape from the priority identification linked to a definite language, but
also denies self-definition as such. It is important to treat bilingualism as a key
to other semiotic transfers as Pessoa’s experience demonstrates. Pessoa’s bilingualism
and cultural transfers may serve as a model of his cosmopolitan nationalism
theory and esoteric practices and as a precedent model for the creation of
poetic texts in contemporary literature.
