ENGLIT 1110 - LINGUISTICS AND POETICS
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course will examine literary texts, in particular poems, to understand better the unique role that language plays in the artistic works of various writers in different languages. Although the course focuses on English-language writers, it will also investigate how poets across languages employ similar structural techniques, or linguistic patterns, based on grammatical features that are common to all languages. In particular, the course explores the role that certain grammatical features of language, such as syntax and diction, play in poetic creativity. It asks, for example, what sort of effects may be the intentional result of a poet’s use of language, and what may be an unintentional result of the structural constraints of the particular language that a poet writes in?
