Textuality » 3A Interacting
We have tried to make sense of what literary language means.
It is rather remote from everyday language.
A distinguish feature of literary language is a special or unusual use of language.
Poetry uses language in a different way from other text and draws attention to it.
He who uses literary language selects elements from everyday language and then he combines them in a new way.
The role of the reader is an active,dynamic one, in that he contributes to make the meaning of the text.
In poems there is no arbiter between truth and falsehood,there is no precise meaning as the reader has to support his meaning looking at the text.There is only interpretation.
Implicit meanings are to be inferred.
The poem is a metapoem.
