Manipulating the Sign: A Semiotic View of Li Shangyin’s Allusiveness

Li Zeng, Ph.D .

Abstract


Focusing on the formal and semantic allusive
process in some of Li Shangyin’s (ca. 812-858 ) allusive
poems, this paper demonstrates how the (inter-) textual
space functions “as a principle of organization for
making signs out of linguistic items.” (Michael
Riffaterre)
