De la prose en le Sachant : investissement de la prose par la poésie au XIXème siècle

Abstract

From the literary point of view, the emergence of «modern» poetry in the 19th. Century - more precisely with Baudelaire - corresponds to the appearance of a new poetic form: the «poem in prose». The linguistic approach to the texts allows us to describe this emergence as a change of unity and as a modification of the rules of versification, with a compensation for the disappearance of regularity through the multiplication of the coherent parallelisms between each unity - semiotic, syntactic, semantic... -. This abandonment of the formal marks of versification also forces the poets to include the metalinguistic discourse within the object of their writing and, thereby, to redefine the function of poetry.
