The article is dedicated to the embodiment of reality in the poetic picture of the world of the British poetry of the XIX–XXI centuries by means of the linguistic and poetic analysis of tropes as the way to actualize cognitive processes of the formation of the picture of the world. Conceptual tropes are analyzed from the position of the mental spaces theory as emergent cognitive structures. By means of linguistic, poetic and cognitive analysis is investigated the cognitive style of poets of the British romantic, modern and post-modern periods. From the position of cognitive linguistics and cognitive poetics poetry is analyzed in the article as the embodiment in the poetical work of the result of cognition of a poet and his inter-pretation of reality from the position of his physical, social and cultural experience. In cognitive poetics is accentuated the viewpoint of the researches of poetry on the metaphorical human՚s cognition and the possibility to conceptualize reality by a human on the basis of corporal experience. In the reconstruction of the poetical model of the world of the British poetical texts of the ХІХ–ХХІ centuries is accen-tuated on the notion of poetry and poetic texts, on the reflection of reality in poetry, on esthetic aspect of poetry and on linguistic and communicative peculiarities of poetry. The article is topical as the generalization of linguistic, poetic and cogni-tive paradigms aimed at the construction of the model of the world of different cultural and historic periods. The aim and the results of investigation are deter-mined by the specification of the poetical viewpoint embodied in the British poetry of romantic, modern and post-modern periods. As the result of investigation of the emergent cognitive structures in the poetical text in the aspect of the mental spaces theory it will be possible to analyze the realization of conceptual tropes (the con-ceptual metaphor, the conceptual metonymy, the conceptual oxymoron, the concep-tual metamorphosis) as emergent cognitive structures in the British poetry of the ХІХ–ХХІ centuries with the aim to reconstruct the poetic model of the world of the British romantic, modern and post-modern periods, it՚s linguistic and cognitive me-chanisms.
