诗歌的意义源于语言,又超越语言。文学批评者们在发现语言的局限性之后,就借助非语言的因素,如作者背景,视觉效果等来更加全面地理解诗歌,但有些分析者走入了误区,本末倒置,将非语言因素作为诗作的主要因素来解读诗歌,笔者认为,诗歌最重要的仍是其语言本身,其语义的起点应源于于语言。本文笔者将从普通语义学角度对e.e.Cummings的视觉诗“Meupatdoes”的词特征作详尽分析。 The meaning of poetry originates from language and transcends language. Literary critics, after discovering the limitations of language, use non-verbal factors such as the author’s background and visual effects to understand poetry more fully. However, some analysts have gone wrong, putting the cart before the horse and using nonverbal factors as poems The main factor to interpret poetry, the author believes that poetry is still the most important language itself, the starting point of its semantics should be derived from the language. The author of this paper will make a detailed analysis of the word features of visual poems “Meupatdoes” by e.e.Cummings from the perspective of general semantics.
