Two ideas in Jakobson's... «Modern Criticism and Theory: A Reader»
innashpitzberg13 сентября 2012Two ideas in Jakobson's contribution to modern literary theory deserve special mention. One was his identfication of the rhetorical figures, metaphor and metonymy, as models for two fundamental ways of organizing discourse that can be traced in every kind of cultural production. ...
The other was his attempt to understand 'literariness'-to define in linguistic terms what makes a verbal message a work of art. This was a preoccupation of the Russian formalists from the inception of the movement, but in "'Linguistics and Poetics'", reprinted below, we find a lucid exposition of Jakobson's mature thought on the subject, enlivened and illuminated by a staggering range of illustration.
