Abstract
This paper offers a close reading of R. Jakobson’s essay “Language in Operation” (1949), exploring “undercurrents” of his then developing theory on communication. In that essay, we argue, Jakobson treats communication as a multifunctional “intricate process,” a transfer of experience where in verbal performance is moved by suggestion and inference. From this vantage Jakobson’s choice of “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe, poet and analyst, as both privileged object of analysis and implying role model is of particular interest.
