Abstract:
One of the most fascinating aspects of the poetics of multilingualism is that
it reveals national literatures to be an outcome of transcultural reflection.
This kind of reflection can surface in lexical borrowings and inventions, in
attempts at imitating foreign language features, and in combining and
improvising stylistic and linguistic devices. The experiments presented in
this book range from idiosyncratic and “forced” solutions to the partly
unconscious creation of new genres from situations of cultural contact.
Multilingualism, as such, turns out to be basic for the emergence of
vernacular literatures.
While research on the poetics of multilingualism is usually restricted to
specific authors, languages, genres or epochs, this book addresses the issue
from the perspective of its general systematics, and reflects the diversity of
the phenomenon. It provides facets from individual authors’ poetics to
conventionalised features of poetics, and from written to oral and sung
products of multilingual creation. By focusing on the topic’s ontology, its
basic categories and relations, the volume demonstrates the fundamental
importance of multilingualism for literary and linguistic theory with studies
on a number of European countries and regions, including multilingualism in
the literature and literary traditions of the Alsace, the Basque Country,
England, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Ireland, the Netherlands, Russia,
Sardinia, and Spain.
