This essay approaches Russian Formalist theory from the perspective of the digital humanities. It focuses on the approaches to quantitative poetics made by several members of the Moscow Linguistic Circle: Boris Tomashevsky, Roman Jakobson, and particularly Boris Yarkho. A special emphasis is made on Yarkho’s invention of what Franco Moretti later referred to as “distant reading” – a comparison of a large number of texts by a limited number of formal features.

Niniejszy esej traktuje o rosyjskiej teorii formalistycznej z perspektywy humanistyki cyfrowej. Skupia się na podejściu do poetyki kwantytatywnej kilku członków Moskiewskiego Koła Lingwistycznego: Borisa Tomaszewskiego, Romana Jakobsona, a zwłaszcza Borisa Jarcho. Szczególny nacisk położony jest na opracowanej przez Jarcho metodzie, którą później Franco Moretti nazwał „czytaniem na dystans” – porównywaniu dużej liczby tekstów pod względem ograniczonej liczby cech formalnych.

The aim of the article is to systematize knowledge about teaser advertising as an advertisement that intrigues, influences the sensory perception of recipients and is an important tool in visual communication. The specificity of teaser advertising was discussed on selected examples of Polish advertisements. In the visual layer of the researched advertisements were used the interpretative methods proposed by Gillian Rose. The functions of the language used in the empirical material were analyzed taking into account the typology of language functions by Roman Jakobson.

This paper focuses on reconstructing the history of the so-called Russian Formalism and the avantgarde context of OPOYAZ’s inception in Petersburg in 1914. Victor Shklovsky’s lecture-manifesto titled “The resurrection of the word”, which he presented in the café “Brodyacha Sobaka” (“The Stray Dog”) in Petersburg, marked the symbolic beginning of this movement. The anniversary of the foundation of the Russian Formal School as well as the international congress commemorating this anniversary, which was organized in Moscow in 2013 (titled “The 100th Anniversary of Russian Formalism: 1913–2013”) provide a starting point for discussing the legacy and topicality of the Russian Formalism in contemporary literary studies.

The study is devoted to personological analysis of the one-hundred-poem collection entitled Vade-mecum by Cyprian Norwid in the light of advanced and, above all, multidimensional research on the personology of the subject of creative activities of Emily Dickinson’s poems. Based to a large extent on Robert Weisbuch’s complex terminology from the canonical volume Emily Dickinson’s Poetry, using his typology of lyrical personas, the researcher on Norwid gains important, additional comparative literature tool allowing, e.g. the juxtaposition alongside each other of the types of poetry written by Norwid, Dickinson and Baudelaire (Norwid’s and Dickinson’s lyrical persona is – it seems – a mixture of a “wounded dialectician” and “engaging sufferer”, Baudelaire’s persona is, in turn, the marriage of features of an “engaging sufferer” and “withdrawn bard”). This is how the premodernist “theatre of personas” is created, the stronger that – which I am trying to emphasize in this text – despite appearances, it is possible to find similarities in the poetic language between the works of Norwid and Dickinson. In the same way, Norwid and Dickinson – in order to build their lyric – use a poetic function in the Jakobsonian sense: on the one hand, they strengthen and intensify its impact, on the other hand, they use it to “cover up” the phenomenon of linguistic disintegration of the world for which Modernist lyric poetry served in a special way as a detector, a kind of litmus paper.

On Ruwet’s semiotically oriented theory of music

The article deals with Nicolas Ruwet’s semiotically oriented theory of music, which constitutes the canvas of his taxonomic analysis. Ruwet adopts from Jakobson’s semiotic structuralism the binary model of the sign, together with its key concepts of equivalence and introversive semiosis. Structural understanding of art began with the poetic function of language distinguished by Jakobson, which is defined as the projection of the principle of equivalence from the axis of selection to the axis of combination. The principle of equivalence, regarded by Ruwet as the regulating principle of musical syntax was, in Jakobson’s view, the answer to the question about what kind of semiosis was involved in music. The latter, described by Jakobson as introversive, deserves attention not only in view of its association with taxonomic analysis, but also because of its conceptual convergence with Leonard B. Meyer’s theory of meaning and formal iconisms of David Osmond-Smith.

The starting point for this reflection on the poetry by Honza Krejcarová are two proposals by Roman Jakobson about obscenity. According to Jakobson, function is the ‘fundamental and intentional organizer’ of a text and the crucial marker or attribute of its ‘poeticity’. Jakobson demonstrates this on the example of the diaries by Mácha, i.e., autobiographical texts, which for him acquire a poetic function. Their obscenity is acceptable for him not on a cultural-historical, but poetological basis. Jakobson rehabilitates the poetic function of obscenity, but at the same time passes up the opportunity to demonstrate the functional difference between poetry and prose, lyrical and autobiographical genres. This reflection on the function of obscenity in Krejcarová’s poems V zahrádce otce mého (In My Father’s Garden, 1948) and in her letter to Zbyněk Fišer (Egon Bondy) and Julie Nováková (probably from 1962) is based on the double meaning of obscenity as an erotic, bodily function and as the basic existential attribute of an infamous, disreputable and/or insignificant person. Through this doubleness, Honza Krejcarová unexpectedly alludes to obscenity in the work by Božena Němcová. Finally, this reflection looks closely at the poetological difference between Krejcarová’s poetic texts and her letters as examples of the autobiographical genre. In addition, it shows how Krejcarová’s poetry, by turning around the relationship between the metaphor and the metonymy, creates a poetry of total realism.

W artykule poddano analizie relacje między językiem dosłownym a językiem literackim, występujące w strukturalizmie i filozofii analitycznej. W rozważaniach istotna była konfrontacja koncepcji języka poetyckiego Romana Jakobsona i Donalda Davidsona oraz ich związku z ogólną ideą języka, jaką można znaleźć w ich pracach. Rozważając ponownie argumenty Jakobsona i Davidsona, autor proponuje porzucić dualistyczne hipotezy, zasadzające się na opozycji między językiem dosłownym a językiem niedosłownym oraz między językiem dosłownym a językiem literackim. Twierdzi, że pojęcia znaczenia pierwszego i dosłownego są niezbędne w innych typach interpretacji. Hipoteza dualistyczna wymaga modelu kaskadowego, który ukazuje przejście od dołu do góry przez hierarchicznie ułożone poziomy znaczeń. Zamiast tego autor zarysowuje wielowarstwową strukturę języka z dwoma poziomami: mimetycznym i semiotycznym i wskazuje na konieczność zastąpienia modelu kaskadowego palimpsestowym modelem współbieżności, łączenia i mieszania warstw znaczeniowych.

EN

The paper traces the relationship between the literal and literary language that is found in structuralism and analytic philosophy. The paper’s gist provides a comparative account of Roman Jakobson’s and Donald Davidson’s notions of poetic language and their relation to the general idea of language as it is given in their work. In reconsidering Jakobson’s and Davidson’s arguments, I propose abandoning the dualistic hypotheses of the oppositions between literal and non-literal language, and between literal and literary language. I contend that the notions of first and literal meanings are necessary for other types of interpretation. The dualistic hypothesis requires the cascade model, which displays a bottom-top transition across hierarchically arranged levels of meanings. Instead, I outline the multilayered structure of language with two thresholds: mimetic and semiotic. Therefore, the cascade model should be replaced with the palimpsest model of concurring, merging, and blending layers of meanings.

Roman Jakobson i amerykańskie studia slawistyczne: pierwsza dekada powojenna Uczeni, którzy oceniali spuściznę Romana Jakobsona, koncentrowali się na jego wkładzie w różne dyscypliny naukowe, natomiast ci, którzy go znali, którzy byli jego studentami lub współpracownikami, pisali o jego retorycznej wirtuozerii i wpływie jako wykładowcy. W niniejszym artykule skupiono się na mało zbadanym aspekcie jego biografii zawodowej: sposobach, jakimi w okresie od połowy lat czterdziestych do połowy lat pięćdziesiątych emigracyjny uczony realizował ambitny projekt rozwoju slawistyki jako dyscypliny w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Działalność Jakobsona w zakresie budowania instytucji, obmyślana w okresie pracy na Uniwersytecie Columbia, została rozpoczęta po jego przeprowadzce w 1949 r. na Uniwersytet Harvarda do nowego Wydziału Slawistycznego. Prywatna grupa, Committee for Advanced Slavic Cultural Studies, z którą uczony był blisko związany, odegrała znaczącą rolę we wspieraniu programu Harvardu, a szerzej – w rozwoju amerykańskiej slawistyki jako dyscypliny

Scholars who have assessed Roman Jakobson’s legacy have concentrated on his contributions to various scientific disciplines, while those who knew him, who had been his students or his colleagues, have written about his rhetorical virtuosity, his impact as a lecturer. The present article focuses on a little-studied aspect of his professional biography: the ways in which, during the period mid-1940s to mid-1950s, the émigré scholar carried out an ambitious project to develop Slavic studies (Slavistics, slavistika) as a discipline in the United States. Jakobson’s institution-building activities, conceptualized while he was teaching at Columbia University, were implemented following his move in 1949 to the new Slavic Department at Harvard University. A private group, the Committee for Advanced Slavic Cultural Studies, with which he was closely connected, played a significant role in supporting the Harvard program, and, more broadly, helping develop American Slavistics as a discipline.

The connection of the thesis advocated by Meillet and Gauthiot of the “implosive”, i.e. unreleased, character of final Proto-Indo-European (PIE) obstruents with the structuralist framework of the Prague School opens up the view for our understanding of the phonological structure of the obstruent or plosive system of PIE and several ancient daughter languages, because based on Trubetzkoy’s theory of neutralization and the archiphoneme the relevant correlation marks can be set up by determining the phonemic status of “implosives”, i.e. unreleased stops, in positions of neutralization. We can conclude that in word final position PIE displayed unreleased lenes (with the phonetic features [–tense, –voiced, –aspirated]), which due to the distinctive function of tenseness (and not voice) were phonologically classified as mediae (with the phonological features [–tense, –aspirated]) and not as tenues (with the phonological features [+tense, –aspirated]). This state of affairs is still reflected directly by the not closely related Indo-European (IE) languages Latin, Avestan and Lydian, and indirectly or less clearly by Hittite, Vedic, Greek, and rudimentarily by Old Persian, Celtic, Slavonic, and possibly by Germanic.

This article examines the possible influence of Antoine Meillet’s thinking on the Prague Linguistic Circle, especially on Jan Mukařovský. Based on a comparison of Jan Mukařovský’s studies from the 1930s and selected works by Antoine Meillet, we find three intersecting topics: the rhetoric of the new science, the sociological conception of linguistics and in particular the concept of general linguistics as a science of the laws of development. We show that Meillet’s and Mukařovský’s sociological conception of language and artwork leads in the final instance to a reference to a certain material basis for the norms under examination.

The essay analyses the central ontological gesture of the Prague School (or Prague Linguistic Circle) on the examples of Jindřich Honzl's seminal text on the theatrical sign and Roman Jakobson's later essay on translation. This ontological gesture is contextualised historically and politically with the PLC's activities in its early decades, and proposes a radical and perhaps provocative revision of the notions of the sign and the Prague School taxonomy in general with a view to the non-conceptual (or pre-conceptual) understanding of the signifying process. Honzl refers back to and elaborates on Zich and his revolutionary statement that "a stage stops being a stage once it ceases to represent something"; in doing so it precludes any nominalist assumptions that would prime the signifying process.
