Abstract. The article is devoted to the problems of the language representation of the metaphysical object "Nothing". It is shown why the question of such abstractions existence moves into the spheres of semiotics, stylistics and poetics: abstraction occurs as an effect of the poet’s language games. By the material of D. Wilmot’s text "On Nothing" the methods and tools of "Nothing" visualization are presented: localization using deictic and predicate symbols, intertextual allusions, stylistic registers game, etc. The iconic image of abstraction (icon-scheme), by which the poet "supplements" metaphysics, allows getting relative access to the sphere of verbally inexpressible.
Key words and phrases: абстрактный объект метафизики, репрезентация, языковые игры, иконизм, визуализация, abstract object of metaphysics, representation, language games, iconism, visualization
