This study is a cognitive poetics. Through this study, I'll search elements that mediate between a poet's creative process and a reader's application. I will also theorize which principles and procedures are needed to incorporate the text underlying in the grammatical system into the work of poetic system.
This study makes it clear that thought and emotion are the important principles of realizing poetic meaning and that the interaction of these two principles solidifies the various aspects of meaning.
The process of creating a poem is considered as the thinking process of <meaning>→<phonemic structure→lexical structure→syntactic structure>→<text> that is applied to individual words, and the emotional process of <stimulus>→<phonemic structure→lexical structure→syntactic structure>→<text>.
If emotion is enforced, a poet may transcend the social and stereotyped frames. By reflecting new personal and individual phonemes, lexical items, or syntax into a text, a poet may make a thought statement which destroys routine grammar rules. With this, a thought will belong to an emotion, and a text will shape a structure of <emotional phoneme(thinking)↔emotional lexical items(thinking)↔emotional syntax(thinking)>. Therefore, the text is manifested in the structure of deviating from or destroying normal grammar because it is an arrangement of signs. However, if we find a subconscious thought that belongs to an emotion, we could confirm a normal grammar structure and apprehend the meaning of an emotion.
Accordingly, the types of texts are divided by the interfusing intention between a poet's thought and emotion and the dimensions of movement. Also by the effect of emotion the relationship of sign and meaning is changed from the lexical meaning through the encyclopedic meaning to the poetic meaning. Consequently it can be divided into the notion-oriented poem that regards a poetic notion as a meaning, the image-oriented poem that regards a poetic image as a meaning and the sign-oriented poem that considers a poetic sign as a meaning.
The process of a reader's objective application of thought and emotion embedded in a poem is manifested in three procedures such as <searching for meaning>, <certifying an interrelation>, and <establishing a contextual sense>. Resulting from these, a reader's creative application would be shaped by a imagination liberated by the destruction of the relationship of sign and meaning, an emotional response that helps people grasp soundly textual information and the cohesion of imaginary scenes and experience structures.
In the field of poetry, there is a different language convention: a poetic grammar with a language convention that an emotion is superior or equal to a thought. This characteristic manifests as the destruction and extension of routine grammar, according to the direction of emotion and the strength and weakness of it.
Therefore, poetry teaching needs the mutually connected and complementary relationship of the following three elements: a teacher instructing a poetic grammar as a principle, a student who learns it and appreciates it and the creative extraction of a principle from the text. Based on these, the real process of teaching and appreciating poetry is constructed.
