Method
O que é método científico? A mesma coisa que o método
experimental? Esta questão está mal colocada. Deveria haver o
método científico? Não existe uma forma única de se construir uma
casa, ou de se cultivarem tomates. Dificilmente poderíamos esperar
que algo tão heterogêneo quanto o crescimento do conhecimento
pudesse estar atrelado a uma metodologia única.

Roman Jakobson

> I am convinced that verse

is maximally effective at making
us experience verbal time, and this holds just as true for oral, folkloric
verse as it does for written, literary verse. Verse, whether rigorously metrical or free
simultaneously carries within it both linguistic varieties of time: the time of the
announcement and the announced time. Verse pertains to our immediate experience of
speech activity, both motor and auditory. At the same time, we experience the structure of
the verse in close connection with the semantics of the poetic text – regardless of
whether there is harmony or conflict between the structure of the verse and the semantic
of the text – and in this way the verse becomes an integral part of the developing plot. It
is difficult even to imagine a sensation of the flow of time that would be more simple and
at the same time more complex, more concrete and yet more abstract.” (Jakobson 1983:
74-75)
