Coseriu‘s idea of an ―integral linguistics‖ needs a thorough reflection because it embraces two different and partly incompatible aims: to counteract the extreme fragmentation of modern linguistic research through philosophical reflection on the true nature of ―language‖, and to work out some coherent way of approaching linguistic research which avoids its being torn apart by the diversity of the objects constituted by linguists and linguistic schools. No new positive theory of the whole of language might overcome this disintegration. Coseriu‘s efforts to enlarge the scope to include linguistic facts have to be submitted to a radical skeptical reflection on the possibility of such an overall positive theory, based on the real fact that factual speech is not the mere use of any virtual system, but an ongoing creation of sense by individuals, and also that linguistics is itself such ―factual speech‖: individual, historical, diffuse. Coseriu did not deliver any general theory of language, but the living example of a rich and widely comprehensive individual personality, approaching language from a critical attitude to inherited categories and methods.

This paper offers a glance at the poetic oeuvre of two outstanding personalities of Persian and, respectively, Polish literature: Foruq Farroxzād and Halina Poświatowska (both 1935–1967). Although their environment differed in almost every respect: geography, sociopolitics, culture and religion, they shared more than just dates of life. Working on the translations of Poświatowska’s poetry into Persian (a collection of poems was published in 2015 under the title Ādamak, matarsak va āšeq) and Farroxzād’s poetry into Polish helped the author discover their similar sensibilities and shared concerns. Described as feminine, sensual and at times even scandalous, their poetry is also philosophical and reflective, touching upon topics such as woman’s prescribed role in society, relationship with nature, passage of time and inevitability of death. Through linguistic analysis of selected poems, the author would like to draw attention to the similarities in terms of form and poetic imagery between the discussed poets who – despite never meeting each other – sometimes enter dialogue and sometimes sing in unison.
