This book outlines an innovative approach to the study of literature called pragmapoetics, a philosophy of poetic utterances. The book posits that studies are as much a branch of linguistics as they are of the philosophy of language and mind, and considers the poetic self-referential function a profound feature of life and intentionality. As a structuralist thinker, the author is drawn towards graphical definitions for their greater elucidative power. This collection contains three sections: "General Poetics," "Pragmapoetics," and "Estonian and Comparative Poetics," consisting of nineteen of the author's works from 1996 up to 2022, which best represent his approach.

Arne Merilai, PhD, is Professor and Chair of Estonian Literature at the University of Tartu, Estonia. His primary areas of research comprise national and comparative literature, poetic language and philosophy, and unified literary theory. His first book, on Estonian ballads, was published in 1991, followed by his co-authored volume on Estonian poetry in exile (1994). In 2003, Merilai released a substantial anthology of Estonian ballads, a joint textbook of poetics, and a monograph on pragmapoetics, a theory of two contexts. Besides editing collective research volumes, he has published three books of his own selected articles, essays, and criticism (2011, 2011, and 2022). He has also penned two collections of poetry, a play, a novel, a large-scale outdoor video mapping show script, and a handful of short stories. The author has about 400 publications to his credit.
