The Role of a Rhetorical Figure in Formulating a Model of Periodization and Establishing Time Marks. The Employment of Syllepsis in Polish Poetry From theMiddle Ages to the Enlightenment

Summary/Abstract: Periodization and establishing time marks are generally associated with setting dates for the beginning and end of an era. Yet, it should be predominantly a rearrangement of a model of reality based on multidimensional analysis of the studied field. A diachronic approach to examine how the shift in priorities changes in consecutive eras is possible by means of reviewing the components of the text structure such as rhetorical figures. The author of this article delivers such a review employing syllepsis as an example of such a component. This particular rhetorical figure disappears from medieval texts, reappears in the Renaissance along with the works of classics’ inspirations, then plays a crucial role in Baroque poetry, and finally vanishes almost entirely in the Age of Enlightenment.
