The author of this article has two complementary goals: 1) to examine the nature of intertextual relations in those Julian Kornhauser's poems which update colloquial diction code, characteristic mainly for the American poets gathered around 'The Others' group (W.C. Williams, Ch. Reznikoff); and 2) to answer the question whether intertextual linking a text with a specific language of tradition updated in a poem can reinforce the epistemological efficacy of a literary message (the phenomenon depicting the situation when pre-text constitutes necessary illumination of reality is named transtextual reference).
