The main of these principles is the isomorphism of the part and ...

This approach uses methods of corpus linguistics, which ‘visualise’ abstract models through arrays of real-life language data.

The mutual similarity of meanings and structures in a literary text
This paper discusses a discourse grounding strategy that has not been described before. It is shown that the fragments of a literary text that are perceived as impressive, aphoristic, etc., tend to have a set of recurrent features. Firstly, in such fragments, there often is mutual reflectedness of meanings (it emerges in metaphors, similes, parallelisms, or juxtapositions of contradictory notions). Second, mutual reflectedness goes through pronounced detrivialization, i.e it is emphasised using...

Some of these notions — code, opposition, discretion, and border — permeate the scientific vocabulary of many linguistic schools.
