SILVESTRE MIRALLES, Alicia. Agrammaticality in poetry: Juan Eduardo Cirlot. Nueva rev. filol. hisp. [online]. 2022, vol.70, n.2, pp.817-843.  Epub 15-Ago-2022. ISSN 2448-6558.  https://doi.org/10.24201/nrfh.v70i2.3817.

Juan Eduardo Cirlot (1916-1973) wrote verse which is apparently agrammatical on the syntactic level. With the goal of broadening our understanding of the phenomenon of agrammaticality in poetry, we study the nature of the variations and violations of grammatical logic in some of his poems, under the light of generativist poetics. We hope to demonstrate that beneath the apparent agrammaticality lies an internal order (taxis) loaded with meaning thanks to the author’s intra-references, and that all this is in line with Jakobson’s indications concerning the poetic function.
