Pentru un model semantic-cognitiv al poeziei douămiiste
For a Semantic-Cognitive Approach of the Poetry of Generation 2000

Summary/Abstract: The author proposes a brief reading grid for a few volumes of poetry published after the year 2000 from the perspective of cognitive linguistics and cognitive poetics. This new form of reading may avoid the traditional views of literary critics who have considered the poetics of Generation 2000 as ‛pure reference’. A cognitive approach combines the linguistic analysis of a literary text with the cognition involved in understanding an occurrence of metaphoric expression. Many poems of the Generation 2000 can be seen to be compatible with a cognitive metaphor analysis which may offer an adequate interpretation of poetry texts on the basis of cognitive models of poetic images. According to G. Lakoff and M. Turner (1989) a metaphor has two planes: conceptual and verbal. The goal of this article is to analyse the conceptual metaphors borrowed from ordinary language to poetry by conscious extensions of ordinary linguistic expressions and/or metaphors.
