Abstract: The article deals with the notion of “creolized text” and rock-text as one of its variants. The author enumerates fundamental features and information levels of a creolized text that are singled out on the basis of a wide range of approaches to its definition. The article analyzes the correlation between the creolized rock-text components, their independence and the idea of polysemantic nature of some non-verbal components. Besides, special emphasis is laid on the creolized rock-text being an efficient method of teaching cultural awareness and approaching topical issues (such as war). This idea is further reinforced by the analysis of recently obtained experiment outcomes, which proves the point that studying creolized rock- texts and identifying their cognitive metaphors and their source-domains at lessons might facilitate intercultural relations. Eventually, the author arrives at the conclusion that it would be useful to analyze the rock-text with the purpose of better interpretation of the singled out conceptual metaphors in the course of study of the verbal component.
