METAPHONY AND AUTOTEXTUALITY: NOTES ON RADOSVET KOLAROV'S TERM FORMATION

Published on
Free access

The paper examines two key terms in the theoretical works of the Bulgarian literary theorist Radosvet Kolarov — metaphony and autotextuality — in the immediate context of their emergence: Kolarov’s books Sound and Sense (1983) and Repetition and Creation (2009). Special attention is paid to the strategies that Kolarov follows in the process of term formation, as well as to the potential problems and limitations related to these strategies. Although Kolarov generally follows a morpheme-based minimalistic approach to his terminology, it often creates, intentionally or not, quite productive amphibolies that are helpful in charting some unstudied or neglected subfields of literary theory.

    Abstract:

    The paper examines two key terms in the theoretical works of the Bulgarian literary theorist Radosvet Kolarov — metaphony and autotextuality — in the immediate context of their emergence: Kolarov’s books Sound and Sense (1983) and Repetition and Creation (2009). Special attention is paid to the strategies that Kolarov follows in the process of term formation, as well as to the potential problems and limitations related to these strategies. Although Kolarov generally follows a morpheme-based minimalistic approach to his terminology, it often creates, intentionally or not, quite productive amphibolies that are helpful in charting some unstudied or neglected subfields of literary theory.
