Appraisal of
aesthetics in literature has a natural attachment with the exploration of
language arts, which paves the path to deciphering the stylistic features that
embellish a text. The triangulation of aesthetics, language arts, and style is
embodied in poetic language, ornamenting the conventional syntactic system of
language through manipulative reformations that alter semantic facets. Thus,
variety in semantic interpretations adds value to aesthetic and stylistic
features in poetry. This interwoven nature of literary text variables of
aesthetics, arts, and style is enchanting as well as demanding regarding
comprehension. There is a common opinion that poetry is among the forms of high
art and language; besides, focusing on poetry as a textual inquiry is a cognitive,
linguistic, and aesthetic endeavor. Since pedagogy targets facilitation by
suggesting cognitively digestible input, it enables pragmatic approaches to poetry's
aesthetic and stylistic features that require high competence in comprehension
and interpretation. This study aims to suggest a method of inquiry into a
selected set of poems to interpret semantic relations constructed through textual
organizations of syntax, which enables the internationalization of the aesthetic
aspects involved. Poems by Richard Adams and Ezra Pound are the corpus of
inquiry to explain the syntactical appropriations utilized to transform
language into art.
