Pour une “approche de la parole”. La métaphore dans la poésie de Lorand Gaspar

The aim of this paper is to examine the vast range of metaphors disseminated in the first section of the collection «Égée Judée» by Lorand Gaspar. Starting from a theoretical approach which sees the speech figure as a linguistic device of a complex and contradictory nature and which, at the same time, takes into consideration its power to develop the iconic potential of language, we propose to show how this opens the way to profound and original meanings, relating to a specific conception of the world and of things. In the corpus which is the object of our analysis, the metaphor contributes to the employment of themes which structure Gaspar’s poetry, by realising this « approche de la parole » which transforms the writing into an unending journey through time and space.
