Henri Meschonnic was a linguist, poet, translator of the Bible and one of the
most original French thinkers of his generation. He strove throughout his
career to reform the understanding of language and all that depends on it. His
work has had a shaping influence on a generation of scholars and here, for the
first time, a selection of these are made available in English for a new
generation of linguists and philosophers of language. 

This Reader, featuring fourteen texts covering the core concepts and topics of
Meschonnic’s theory, will enrich, enhance and challenge your understanding of
language. It explores his key ideas on poetics, the poem, rhythm, discourse
and his critique of the sign. Meschonnic’s vast oeuvre was continuously
preoccupied with the question of a poetics of society; he constantly connected
the theory of language to its practice in various fields and interrogated what
that means for society. In exploring this fundamental question, this book is
central to the study and philosophy of language, with rich repercussions in
fields such as translation studies, poetics and literary studies, and in
redefining notions such as rhythm, modernity, the poem and the subject.

Translated by Pier-Pascale Boulanger, Andrew Eastman, John E. Joseph, David
Nowell Smith, Marko Pajević and Chantal Wright.
