Romana Ingardena opalizacje i oscylacje literackie

Abstract

The aim of this article is to present Roman Ingarden’s concept of literary opalization and oscillation. The problem of specific literary ambiguity, vagueness, variability will be considered on two complementary planes. The first plane will describe the phenomenon of opalescence and oscillation of the sound and meaning of a linguistic expression, while the second plane will focus on the layer of literary appearances and represented objects. Adopting such an order of considerations will make it possible to indicate those ‘places’ of a literary work of art in which this phenomenon is clearly present and sometimes determines its aesthetic value.
