Emic approaches oen run counter to the tendency to abstract poetic forms and how they “work” as strict ideal systems. Instead, emic approaches attend to variation as symptomatic of the potential for exibility that may also have functions or meanings in performance (Foley 2002: 33; see also Kallio, this volume). Emic terms are oen brought into focus for discussing categories as they are used and perceived, from words for metres and melodies (Royer-Artuso, this volume) to vernacular uses of concepts such as “word,” which may refer to a whole formulaic expression (Foley 1996: 14–17). e same is true of vernacular descriptions and metaphors of producing poetry (Tarkka 2013; Ekgren & Ekgren, this volume), as well as descriptions that may distinguish categories, not strictly by structural or linguistic features of poetic form, but by the manner of performance (Stepanova E. 2015: 268; Stepanova & Frog 2019: 99–101). Notably, however, emic approaches tend to focus on particular forms of poetry. is is less surprising in light of observations such as that most speakers of Modern English do not include song lyrics in the category of “poetry” – they are just “lyrics.” Most cultures lack a simple and equivalently broad concept of versication as used in scholarship. Emic approaches tend to have the greatest utility when addressing particular forms and uses of verse in a culture, language or small group, and such studies tend not to be concerned with versication generally but with versication in a particular form of verbal art.Etic approaches can be constructed according to a researcher’s needs. Nigel Fabb (2015) has proposed a universal denition for distinguishing poetry from prose according to the dominant principles of organising discourse when producing texts. In this approach, prose is understood as “text made of language that is divided into sections on the basis of syntactic or prosodic structure” (2015: 10). Poetry is distinguished by dividing a text into sections on the basis of principles or factors that are given precedence over syntactic or prosodic structure (Fabb 2015: 9). For example, poetic principles such as metre, parallelism or sound patterning like alliteration and rhyme are commonly in focus as organizing text into units – i.e., forming verses. Poetic features may be present in particular passages of other types of discourse as well, but the dominance of linguistic principles of syntax and prosody in organizing it into units determines its classication as prose (see further Fabb 2015). e etic approach circumvents questions of how local people classify types of text and does not require social contexts: a text may be uniquely organised on poetic principles without anyone in the respective society acknowledging it as a poem, yet it may still be considered poetry by the researcher. Whereas poetic principles can also be used to analyse smaller units of text, such as formulaic expressions (Frog, this volume), poetry is distinguished where an entire text is organised poetically, even if the particular poetic principles may vary through the text (Yelena Sesselja Helgadóttir, this volume).
