Riffaterre's Theory on the Structural Stylistics and the Text Production

Riffaterre's theory on the 'text production' is a kind of theory of poetic semiotics. He wanted to sketch out in a 1971 paper, Essais de stylistique structurale, on what makes a literary sentence literary. He had concentrated upon the surface structures of poetic discourse, upon what the reader recognizes and identifies as styles. And in the 1978 paper, Semiotics of Poetry, he began focussing on the reader and intertextuality. This essay intends to examine the semiotical characteristics in the Riffaterre's Theory on the 'poetic text production' in a 1983 paper, Text Production. Through this study, I will illustrate how his poetic discourse is reacting against the other theories in a synchronic and diachronic perspective. By clarifying the text production theory, the attitude of cognition about poems and intention of poetic vision in his essay, I will look into the continuity and variation in his semiotical theory. The text production as a main topic in this study is the key concept to understand the poetry which is presented in various styles. This study tries to examine his theory, which is based on the concept of double-sided production that contains aspects of words and tropology. Especially, the tropology as one topic is a textual marker to reveal the cognition and its esthetic reaction of poetic text.
