Summary/Abstract: The basic idea is that all analogies determining the relationships between text isotopes have a reverse: due to mediation, senses overlap, one sense replacing the other, one meaning sends us to another, and the poet constantly shifts the semantic registers. This continuous diversion of isotopes is corrected by lectura tabula, which serves as a unifying and equipoising element of all these senses. As one can observe, linguistic rhetoric fully covers the field of Jakobson’s poetic function, incorporating the study of linguistic procedures, which is characteristic – among others – to literary discourse as well.
