Abstract
Language plays a very important role in Katarina
Frostenson’s works, being not only the stuff, but also one of the
leading subjects. Her literary production is strongly metapoetical
and metalinguistic. Frostenson’s views on language have much in
common with poststructuralism and deconstruction when she
maintains that language is insufficient to describe the world and
that consequently, the world is falsified by language. However,
contrary to poststructuralists and postmodernists for whom,
actually, nothing exists beyond the text, she believes that beyond
language there is something like an objective reality, some kind of
truth, and what’s more, she believes that it is possible to describe
this reality if one can find a suitable language. In her works she
tries to seek such a language, for example by going back to the
primitive - both childish and archaic - kind of language. This
article deals both with Frostenson’s views on language as expressed
in her texts, and with how, in consequence, she treats and uses the
language in practice.
