In her Gravity and Grace (French: La Pesanteur et la grâce) she defines le metaxu as in-betweenness, a social and metaphysical category which embraces all that connects and divides (as, for example, a wall that both separates two prisoners and can be used by them to tap messages). In this article Weil’s concept of metaxu is applied to the language and then to various readings of two of Wisława Szymborska’s poems, ‘Funeral’ and ‘Elegiac Calculation’. Pragmalinguistics and semantics, too, play a role in the interpretation of these poems.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Język jako metaxú – działanie mowy w wierszach „Pogrzeb” i „Rachunek elegijny” Wisławy Szymborskiej}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/113540/PDF/RL%203-19%206-KORWIN-PIOTROWSKA.pdf}, doi={10.24425/rl.2019.130047}, keywords={metaxú, poezja współczesna, Wisława Szymborska, język}, }
