Until recently, collaborative efforts between formal linguistics
and literary studies have been relatively sparse; this book is an
attempt to bridge this gap and add to the hitherto small pool of
studies that combine the two disciplines. Our study concentrates on
Emily Dickinson's poetry, since it displays a highly uncommon and
therefore challenging use of language. We argue this to be part of
her poetic strategy and consider Dickinson an intuitive linguist:
her apparent non-compliance with linguistic rules is a productive
exploration of linguistic expression to reveal the flexibility and
potential of grammar, leading to complex processes of
interpretation. Our study includes a number of in-depth analyses of
individual poems, which combine formal linguistic methods and
literary scholarship and focus on specific aspects such as
ambiguity, reference, and presuppositions. One of our findings
concerns the dynamic interpretation of lyrical texts in which the
pragmatic step of establishing what a poem means for the reader is
postponed to text level. We provide readers with a tool-box of
methods for the formal linguistic analysis not just of Emily
Dickinson's poetry but of linguistically complex literary texts in
general.
