Contenu du sommaire : Linguistique et poétique: après Jakobson, sous la direction de Nicolas Ruwet, Jean-Michel Gouvard et Marc Dominicy

The interface between form and meaning within (post-) Jakobsonian poetics Jakobson's work in poetics has been both carried on and criticized by Nicolas Ruwet in France and Marc Dominicy in Belgium. This paper introduces and discusses the major theoretical works of all three scholars.

Words and music in « The shadow of the trees » : Verlaine and Debussy The study of a poem and its setting into music. Starting from both formal and cognitive principles, we try to show that structural links converge on the evocation of a prototypical image.

Proverbial forms The word proverb refers to a wide range of utterances among which it is hard to find one's way. I show that it is impossible to study such an array without distinguishing between subclasses of « proverbs » and taking into account all aspects of language. Only afterwards it will be possible to examine the role of proverbs in poetry.

Is blank verse always blank ? An analysis of a poem by Paul Eluard set in 12-syllable lines without rhyme. We show that the metrical structure creates a number of « rhyme effects » in various salient positions.

Lamartine : The music of The Lake A formal study and interpretation of a moderately long Romantic poem. We stress features that point to the universality of the poem ; we also point to a number of features which are strinkingly similar to devices that are commonplace in music .

Métaphore, contexte, analogie ; "Le Lézard" de Francis Ponge. I introduce a hypothesis on the metaphorical process, based on a study of Francis Ponge's poem Le Lézard (« The Lizard »). Within a cognitivist framework, I try to define the concepts of context and analogy in the way they are linked in the production of metaphorical sentences.
