Abstract
Miloš Kovačević's new stylistic study, Poetry in a stylistic key, builds on the author's previous books in this field, which are recognizable by the theoretical-methodological concept of a critical study of a poet's style, that is, his work. Integral research of the poetic text implies the application of both linguistic and literary methods, aiming to elucidate the poetic language's uniqueness. Furthermore, poetic specificity concerning other types of language texts lies in the transformation of language signs as its inherent characteristic. This change in the analysis of this type is determined based on the criteria of systematicity, which indicates the unusual form of a linguistic unit, and pyrogenicity, as an assessment of the artistic effect of a given unit. That's why "the subject of integral stylistics is the research of ways of realizing the (inter)relationship of stylematics and stylogenicity of language units: from phonemes as the least to discourse or text as the most" (Kovačević 2020: 9). In the thirteen works on Serbian poets included in this book, various types of defamiliarization are singled out and described and points to the aesthetic-artistic value of both stylistic and non-stylistic language units.
