The syntagmatic and paradigmatic sign development through Jakobson’s concepts (aspects of semantic and semiotic dynamics)
The syntagmatic and paradigmatic sign development through Jakobson’s concepts (aspects of semantic and semiotic dynamics)

Summary/Abstract: Taking direction from Roman Jakobson’s theoretical legacy, this paper will examine some essential features of the scholar’s famous definition for the paradigmatic and syntagmatic aspects of “verbal behaviour”. The definition is not only well-known but has been extensively explored in various critical studies. Our approach sets as its aim to grasp and clarify in a new way the theoretical and methodological relevance to literary semiotics of the definition of the poetic function given by Jakobson through the concepts of the paradigmatic and syntagmatic linguistic operations.
