Abstract

Sergey G. Nikolaev (Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation)

Part 2. The lyrics of The Beatle’ song ‘Michelle’ (1965) is linguistically scrutinized in regards of various aspects. The analysis involves those cultural circumstances under which the song was created, as well as the track place in the group legacy. As the author states the major collision is hidden in the general monolingualism of its characters shown through the foreign-language component, yet employed as a device displaying their communication collapse.

Key words: English-language popular culture of the 1960s, The Beatles’ works, foreign personal name, intratextual foreignisms, ‘foreign French’, communication collapse.
