Poetic Metaphor and Frames of Reference
Metaphor is a curious case. Perhaps it reflects the current state of poetics in relation to other fields of the humanities. On the one hand, there is an endless cross-disciplinary procession of theoretical books and papers on the subject. One wave peaked in the nineteen fifties and sixties, another has developed in recent years. Important contributions have been made to the clarification of the basic
An Outline of Integrational Semantics
1.1 The following remarks intend to present an outline and several concrete examples for a new, comprehensive theory of semantics.1 If semantics is the theory and study of meaning, and if meaning is all the information an understander may obtain while perceiving (reading, or hearing) a text, then it must be clear that semantics cannot be limited to the study of isolated units: words (as signs), sentences, speech acts or their combinations. The me…
Dialogue on Time in Language and Literature
K.P. In one of your recent synoptic surveys discussing the tasks of the science of language among other contemporary sciences, in Scientific American 1972, you made a brief outline of the history of linguistics and touched upon the doctrine of the Young Grammarians. Their methodology actually amounted to nothing more than a history of language. Overcoming the Young Grammarian doctrine, which had been prevalent for some time, was one of de Saussur…
The Meaning of Sound Patterns in Poetry
1. It is common practice in the interpretation and teaching of poetry that the interpreter mobilizes the sound effects of the poetic text to reinforce his argument on the poem's meaning. The insight formulated by I. A. Richards that poems are written with the full body of words finds its obvious expression in this domain. Such observations are made not merely by critics interested in the form of the poem, but even more so by practical critics pre…
Sign and System of Language
The Structure of Semiotic Objects
The purpose of this paper* is to present the argument that literary texts can be apprehended fully only through a three-dimensional model. For purposes of understanding or analysis we may have to observe one dimension (or certain aspects of it) at a time; we cannot, however, disregard its relations with aspects of the other dimensions. Theories based on properties of one dimension only will remain weak and limited in solving the problems of liter…
