Definiția metaforică în creația rebusistă a lui Eugen Diradurian
The Metaphoric Definition in Eugen Diradurian’s crossword puzzle creation

Summary/Abstract: In this study we aim to discuss the figurative definition in crossword puzzles with special focus on Eugen Diradurian’s metaphoric creativity in the field. We also make an inquiry on several theoretical approaches, in the attempt to offer a survey on the semantic strategies involved in the construction of poetic sense, by means of which metaphoric creativity emerges and shapes new means of expression. A close look into the way in which crossword puzzles definitions are generated and the fabric of literature seems to give us the opportunity to emphasize the profound connection between metaphoric puzzle definitions and poetry itself. Our explanatory endeavor integrates the samples submitted to analysis within the conceptual frame of semantics and poetics, in such a way that would enable us to grasp their typological peculiarities and unfold their symbolic network.
