Opsomming

Pages 482-509 | Published online: 22 Oct 2010
 

Summary

Linguistic strategies in a poem intrigue competent readers as well as poets. In this article the analysis of the poem “Leopold” by the Afrikaans poet T.T. Cloete investigates the possibility of metapoetics. The poem appears in a volume entitled Idiolek (1986: 63). From this title it can be inferred that attention will be focused on distinctive individual linguistic expression. In Cloete's poem it becomes evident that the poetic style of the Dutch poet J.H. Leopold (1865–1925) is under scrutiny. It will become evident that the celebration of poetry as a maximum exploitation of language can be identified as a distinctive poetic style. The aim of the article is to draw attention to the functioning of poetic metalinguistics as an interpretive and creative process of reading.

Die taalgedrag van die gedig boei sowel die kompetente leser as die digter. in hierdie artikel word die moontlikheid ondersoek dat T. T. Cloetese gedig “Leopold” gelees kan word as metapoësie. Genoemde gedig kom voor in die bundel Idiolek (1986:63). Hiervan kan afgelei word dat die aandag gevestig sal word op eiesoortige indiwiduele taalgedrag. In die geval van die genoemde gedig betrek dit die poëtolek van die Nederlandse digter J.H. Leopold (1865–1925). Dit blyk dat die beskouing van poësie as ‘n viering van die potensiaal van die taal, manifesteer in tekslinguistiese strategieë. Gevolgtrekkings word hieruit gernaak aangaande ‘n bepaalde digterlike styl. Die doel van die artikel is om aan die hand van ‘n spesifieke voorbeeld die aandag te vestig op die funksionering van poëtiese metalinguistiek as interpreterende en skeppende leesproses.
