JAKOBSONOVA TUMAČENjA POETIKE

Abstract

In Jakobson’s interpretation of poetics we first showed the theoretical facts connected to structuralism so that we could get to know the methodology used by structuralists. After that, we have, by questioning the nature of the sign and the relation between the signifier and the signified, as well as the relationship between the linguistic system and the speech act, analyzed the influence of Saussure on structuralists and formalists where we have pointed out to the understanding of poetic language and the understanding of language itself. The rest of the work is dedicated to Roman Jakobson’s texts and his interpretation of poetry, folklore literature, short stories, epic poems, epic tales and sonnets. Through the various interpretations that are given by Jakobson’s texts, we have gained insight into the methodology of text interpretation, as well as the specificities of poetic language. With his research, Jakobson contributed to the creation of a unique approach to interpretation of poetic texts because he united the linguistic and poetic approaches showing innovation in his interpretation of texts.
