Authors: Li Zeng

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).

Keywords:
literary allusion, sign, marker, activation, intertextuality, “clouds and rain”, overt, assimilative,
poetic signification
