Poetic Function Research Articles

Diskurspoetik

This discourse linguistic short paper focuses on the heuristic concept of discourse poetics within a discourse linguistic framework. The goal is to integrate poetological considerations related to the concept of poeticity into the context of linguistic discourse analysis. From this standpoint, it explores the concept of poetics of knowledge, emphasizing the correlation between the specifics of linguistic expression and the epistemic objects they may refer to. Building upon this, discourse poetics that functions as a discourse linguistic epistemology is characterized by its focus on the poetic function of language use corresponding to the category of poeticity as a linguistic marker within discourse. It is assumed that linguistic phenomena falling under this category, can be observed and interpreted transtextually, using corpus pragmatic and hermeneutic approaches. This is illustrated by examples taken from the analysis of music discourses based on a corpus of 13,499 contemporary music reviews, previously presented by the author.

A Contextual Analysis on Social Media Updates

This qualitative, corpus-based, and contextual analysis approach aimed to give and provide the linguistic features and functions in male and female social media updates. The purpose of this study was to help the students assess the posts of social media users and to find out if there are linguistic features or linguistic functions found in their social media updates. In this study, there were a total of sixty-two (62) corpora taken from both male and female social media updates that are categorized into five linguistic features, including the intensifiers, tag questions, questions on declarations, lexical hedges, empty adjectives and six linguistic functions including the referential function, poetic function, emotive function, conative function, phatic function and metalingual function. Results revealed that in social media updates of males and females, linguistic features and functions are found by contextualizing their posts in the adopted linguistic frame of analysis. Also, it helps future English students know the linguistic features and linguistic functions as their basis, using other platforms for them to be responsible for posting online. It serves as their point of reference for the students and English instructors to unearth the linguistic aspect in social media, particularly in males and females.

Mimesis and Mythos in Aristotelian Arabic Poetics

Abstract The Aristotelian sense of mimesis (i.e., fictional representation of an evoked world through plot and characters) continues to shape modern views of literature. The medieval Arabic reception of the concept of mimesis and its closely related concept of mythos (fable, story, or plot) through Aristotle’s Poetics reveals a different conception of literature—one that this article argues is not representational but analogical. While Aristotle sees mythos/plot as forming the main vehicle through which mimesis manifests itself in poetry, mythos (khurāfa) according to the philosophers of the Islamic world was irrelevant for the poetic. This is because they understood mythos not as “plot” but as referring, on the one hand, to the fictionality and fantasticness of poetic metaphor, which they deemed inessential for the success of poetry; on the other hand, they understood mythos as “story,” in which case they relegated to it a rhetorical function of persuasion rather than a poetic function of make-believe. Fundamentally, in both the poetic and the rhetorical, mimesis was understood as the expression of the comparable, not the representation of the likeness of an evoked world. This exposes an Arabic conception of “mimesis” that reflects a literature that seeks comparisons and demands the inference of similarities from the reader.

르네 마그리트 작품의 제목 연구

The purpose of this study is to examine the aesthetics René Magritte seeks to realize through his titles by analyzing the titles of his works in detail at the grammatical and functional levels and revealing their characteristics. As a result of consideration based on vocabulary and frequency analysis of the titles of his works, the following characteristics were discovered. 1) Morphological and syntactic characteristics: His title is not much different from other surrealist titles in that its lexical frequency is similar to that of modern French, it uses both function words and content words equally, it frequently uses idioms, and it is not long and simple. However, it is distinguished from the latter titles in that it is frequently repeated. 2) Semantic characteristics: His title prefers vocabulary related to the ‘external world’ and its ‘sense’ instead of vocabulary related to the priority values of the Surrealist movement. 3) Functional characteristics: His title is similar to other surrealist titles in that it is difficult to find emotive, conative, and metalingual functions in it, and the poetic function is strengthened while the referential function is weakened. However, it differs from the latter titles in that it realizes the aesthetics of subversion that overturns realistic perception through poetic function.

Syntaxe et signifiance de la parole conative dans la poésie Africaine Francophone

Syntax and Meaning of Conative Speech in Francophone African Poetry
 For those with an interest in African poetry, particularly Francophone poetry, several distinctive features underlie its originality and authenticity. These encompass rhythm, symbolism, and poetic imagery, serving as fundamental markers of the dominant poetic function within poetic discourse. These elements are inevitable considerations in any analysis, be it poetic or stylistic, of literary texts. Poetry in Africa, and conceivably beyond, undoubtedly serves a pragmatic, or more precisely, pragma-enunciative function, often obscured and overshadowed by the omnipotent poetic function—the quintessential literary function. In practical terms, the pragma-enunciative function of a poetic text is revealed through its conative nature. Essentially, poetry is a form of discourse inherently directed towards otherness, intended for an audience. Even when masquerading as an introspective work originating from the soul, ostensibly focused inward to express emotions in a context of heightened lyricism, poetry is fundamentally a conative expression. This characteristic is intrinsic to African poetry, with conative speech representing an indispensable aspect that may even be considered the ultimate purpose of the unavoidable poetic function of language. It is undeniable that elements such as rhythm, symbol, and poetic imagery, along with other aesthetic devices in verbal creation, serve as means of captivating and elevating the discourse, enabling the poet to construct a message aimed at captivating and stirring the reader. Nearly every aspect of the poem contributes to transforming it into a communication from self to other, essentially constituting second-person poetry. Conative speech, in the context of poetry, also assumes an incantatory function, a concept championed by Roman Jakobson, involving the conversion of an absent or inanimate "third person" into the recipient of a conative message. In the realm of French-speaking African poetry, conative speech holds literary, pragmatic, communicative, psychological, and cultural significance, among other dimensions. It is an indispensable component of African poetry, enhancing its illocutionary or even perlocutionary nature. Consequently, a nuanced examination of the syntax of this speech, especially its unconventional or unexpected elements

Verbal system and poetics in the works of Yehuda Ha-Lewi

Abstract The article analyzes the verbal system in the Hebrew language of Yehuda Ha-Lewi, which is (and was) represented solely by poetry. It points at Ha-Lewi’s poetics, as the central factor shaping his language, whose verbal forms were ascribed additional poetic functions. It aims to define grammatical units and rhetorical techniques which, combined, were used by Ha-Lewi to create his unique poetic style and linguistic system coherent, though seemingly mimicking Biblical Hebrew. Due to the uniqueness of the corpus of the language and the fact that the rhetorical functions were to a large extent ascribed to grammatical forms, in order to define them most accurately, I apply the discursive-pragmatic approach. This method has allowed to outline the matrix of Ha-Lewi’s verbal system and define its innovative features.

Free Verse and Prose Rhythm

AbstractFree verse and prose rhythms, by definition, do not have metrical organizing schemes, but does this mean that rhythm in free verse or prose poems is like speech or prose rhythm? Taking up these questions debated since the advent of modernist free verse more than one hundred years ago, this essay draws on recent critical literary and linguistic findings to formulate a new method for scanning and comparing rhythm in English-language free verse and prose genres. The comparison of six texts suggests that in poetic free verse or prose texts rhythm constructs information-rich, multilevel, context-specific semantic systems in a way that does not occur in the nonpoetic texts. These results contest persisting prosodic theories that free verse and prose poetry are largely written in prose, and suggest that rhythm is a more important generic marker of the poetic function than lineation is.

Code Switching Analysis as Found in Bunga Citra Lestari Youtube Channel

The objectives of this study are to determine the various types and functions of code switching. Poplack's (1980) theory defines three forms of code switching in evaluating the data: tag switching, inter-sentential switching, and intra-sentential switching. Moreover, the theory from Appel and Muysken (1987) distinguishes the six functions of code switching are: referential function, directive function, expressive function, phatic function, poetic function, and metalinguistic function. The data source was taken from Bunga Citra Lestari YouTube’s channel entitled Love Story #1 – BCL Sebelum dan Sesudah Ashraf was published on February 12th, 2021. The method that was used to collect the data is the qualitative method. This research found 79 data of code switching. In analyzing the data, intra-sentential switching is commonly used by the participants in the video which found 50 (63,3%) data. Meanwhile, the metalinguistic function is dominantly used which found 32 (40,50%) data for the functions of code switching utterances by the participants. The result of this analysis because both of the speakers, Daniel Mananta and Bunga Citra Lestari are a bilingual person and they often switch the language into other languages because their society also has an acceptable use of English terms.

 ABSTRACT
 
 This study stems from an artistic phenomenon that has its traces in a poetic function which observes the milestone of creation in employing in employing the Qur’anic intertextuality in the poetry of Ashja 'al-Salami. Intertextuality is a method of modern studies suitable for poets' poetry in employing the technicality of origins and belongings to supplement their texts with anew power , especially the use of the Qur’an, literature in an artistic way that increases the indications and richness of the poetic text, and opens wide horizons for contemplation and interpretation)) especially, when this artistic creativity is from a creative poet with his religious outcome. Intertextuality is based on previous texts absent in the poet’s memory, and nothing is more beautiful and deeper than employing the heritage of religious culture and Qur’anic texts that have a prominent effect on deepening the meaning and enriching the text artistically and intellectually. The research relied on the descriptive and analytical approach in tracking, monitoring, describing and analyzing the phenomenon of intertextuality.

Perspectives of Ukrainian German Studies: Linguistic Literary Studies as a Modern Field of Research

The article presents a promising area of modern Germanic studies actively introduced by the Department of German Philology of the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, i.e. linguo-literary studies. Based on the extensive scholarly experience of the Department, the feasibility and fruitfulness of linguo-literary studies as an interdisciplinary area of contemporary philology is proven. Because the two philological disciplines are closely related, it is argued that their interaction is vital, at the least in the problematic complexes that deal with texts, writing and discourse. The research topic is justified with the help of relative German-language academic discourse, which confirms the overt trend of shortening the distance between modern linguistics and literary studies. Literary texts and literary language are essential elements of mutual academic consideration of the two disciplines. The links between linguistics and literary studies are showcased from a scholarly and historical perspective. Particular attention is paid to the 1960s-1970s as a period of mutual convergence of the two philological disciplines under the umbrella of linguo-literary studies. The key theoretical provisions used are those expressed by Roman Jakobson in his Linguistics and Poetics (1960). Among the functions of language, the scholar singles out “poetic function” and discusses literary use of language using linguistic terms as it is preconditioned by linguistic structures. It is emphasized that the integration of closely related disciplines is justified and ensured by the academic course “Belles-lettres”. Despite all of the interaction challenges, both disciplines work with texts and must consider their linguistic nature. Using the example of the academic discussion presented in the Literary Studies and Linguistics journal and given the activities of the Literaturlinguistik Internet platform and some recent academic papers, new directions of linguo-literary studies are set forth. In this context, the cooperation of the two philological disciplines at the Department of German Philology appears particularly promising.
