Language and rhetoric in poetic discourse according to scholarly interpretations

The article discusses themes related to poetic discourse, focusing centrally on language and its rhetoric. Definitions by Paul Valery and I.A. Richards emphasize that poetry uses words to create emotional effects and attitudes, thus highlighting its specificity within language. C. Dascălu adds that literary language involves not only words but also their organization and means of expression, including the evoked imagery. Eugeniu Coșeriu argues that poetic language is not simply an additional function of language but a comprehensive exploration thereof. Thus, poetic discourse is seen as a form of absolute language that exploits all expressive possibilities of the language.
