Bücher von Roman Jakobson

Die Semiotik ist eines der bedeutendsten theoretischen Paradigmen des 20. Jahrhunderts, dessen Ursprünge in drei ganz unterschiedlichen Denktraditionen verankert sind: der amerikanischen um Charles Sanders Peirce, der französischen um Ferdinand de Saussure und der osteuropäischen um Roman Jakobson. Gerade der Schule um Jakobson kommt das Verdienst zu, die materielle Struktur der Zeichen und deren ästhetisches Potential erschlossen zu haben. Roman Jakobson war darüber hinaus der wichtigste Mittler zwischen den verschiedenen Zentren der osteuropäischen Semiotik und eine der Schlüsselfiguren für die Entwicklung und Verbreitung der Semiotik insgesamt. Der Band enthält grundlegende Aufsätze Jakobsons zur Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft, zur allgemeinen Ästhetik und zur Kultursemiotik.

Dieser Band faßt Roman Jakobsons wichtigste theoretische Schriften zur Poetik zusammen. Er enthält die beiden mittlerweile klassischen Texte »Linguistik und Poetik« und »Poesie der Grammatik und Grammatik der Poesie« wie auch Studien über den Realismus in der Kunst, die Folklore, das Verhältnis von Dichtung und Gesellschaft am Beispiel der Hussitendichtung sowie über den Parallelismus. In zwei vergleichenden Aufsätzen über Vladimir Majakovskij und Boris Pasternak expliziert Jakobson zum erstenmal das Verhältnis von Methapher und Metonymie, das dann im Strukturalismus (vor allem bei Claude Lévi-Strauss und Jacques Lacan) eine Schlüsselrolle einnehmen sollte.

Verbal Art, Verbal Sign, Verbal Time was first published in 1985. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. Roman Jakobson, one of the most important thinkers of our century, was bet known for his role in the rise and spread of the structural approach to linguistics and literature. His formative structuralism approach to linguistics and literature. His formative years with the Russian Futurists and subsequent involvement in the Moscow and Prague Linguistic Circles (which he co-founded) resulted in a lifelong devotion to fundamental change in both literary theory and linguistics. In bringing each to bear upon the other, he enlivened both disciplines; if a literary work was to a him a linguistic fact, it was also a semiotic phenomenon - part of the entire universe of signs; and above all, for both language and literature, time was an integral factor, one that produced momentum and change. Jakobson''s books and articles, written in many languages and published around the world, were collected in a monumental seven-volume work, Selected Writings (1962 -1984), which has been available only to a limited readership. Not long before his death in 1982, Jakobson brought together this group of eleven essays—Verbal Art, Verbal Sign, Verbal Time — to serve as an introduction to some of his linguistic theories and especially, to his work in poetics. Jakobson''s introductory article and the editor''s preface together suggest the range of his work and provide a context for the essays in this book, which fall into three groups. Those in the first section reflect his preoccupation with the dynamic role of time in language and society. Jakobson challenges Saussure''s rigid distinction between language as a static (synchronic) system and its historical (diachronic) development - a false opposition, in his view, since it ignores the role of time in the present moment of language. The essays on time counter the notion that structuralism itself, as heir to Saussure''s work, has discarded history; in Jakabson''s hands, we see a struggle to integrate the two modes. In central group essays, on poetic theory, he shows how the grammatical categories of everyday speech become the expressive, highly charged language of poetry. These essays also deal with the related issues of subliminal and intentional linguistic patterns of poetry. These essays also deal with the related issues of subliminal and intentional linguistic patterns in poetry—areas that are problematic in structural analysis—and provide exemplary readings of Pushkin and Yeats. The last essays, on Mayakovsky and Holderlin, make clear that Jakobson was aware of the essential (and in these instances, tragic) bond between a poet''s life and art. The book closes with essays by Linda Waugh, Krystyna Pomorska, and Igor Melchuk that provide a thoughtful perspective on Jakobson''s work as a whole.

Roman Jakobsons monumentales Alterswerk Poetry of Grammar and Grammar of Poetry (1981) samt seinen spateren Erganzungen war und ist eine theoretische Herausforderung fur die Allgemeine und Vergleichende Literaturwissenschaft wie fur die verschiedensten Einzelphilologien. Aus der souveranen Vielsprachigkeit dieser linguistischen Gedichtanalysen resultierte aber nicht nur ihre weltweite Rezeption, sondern zugleich auch deren vollige Disparatheit: Gab es doch kaum einen Leser, der sie alle auch nur zu lesen, geschweige denn kritisch zu diskutieren vermochte. Diesen Missstand zu beheben strebt die deutsche Ausgabe von Jakobsons samtlichen strukturalen Gedichtanalysen und seiner wichtigsten poetologischen Aufsatze an, die durch Spezialisten aus den jeweiligen Literaturwissenschaften ubersetzt und kommentiert werden.

"e;Jakobson and Halle's initial statement of the principles of linguistic organization should be made available to all future generations of linguists. It builds a solid foundation for Saussurean thinking about linguisic oppositions and establishes distinctive feature theory as the basis of their formal treatment."e; Prof. Dr. William Labov, University of Pennsylvania, Department of Linguistics

This work attempts to describes the ultimate discrete components of language, their specific structure, and their articulatory, acoustic, and perceptual correlates, and surveys their utilization in the language of the world. First published in 1951, this edition contains an added paper on Tenseness and Laxness.
