Iarkho, Russian formalism, Verse studies, Quantitative poetics, TomashevskyAbstract
This essay approaches Russian Formalist theory from a quantitative perspective. It is focused on the theories of verbal art developed by Boris Tomashevsky, Boris Eikhenbaum, Roman Jakobson, and particularly by Boris Yarkho. The author discusses Yarkho’s pioneering approach to the quantitative study of various aspects of the artistic text and the use of statistics in poetological analyses. It is the first study of Yarkho’s contribution to poetics published in Brazil.
