Abstract

This paper studies the structure of the lexicon in the prolific poetic work of Joan Brossa
(1919-1998) by applying corpus-linguistic methodology for the analysis of his literary and
visual poetry and, particularly, to his poesia escènica, i.e. to his theatre plays. Through the
analysis of frequencies and collocations found in concordances of Brossa’s texts, it is shown
that his most productive and prominent vocabulary belongs to the semantic fields of nature
and the human body. Furthermore, the various creative processes and strategies used by the
author and playwright in his ludic approach to the semiotic triangle of designation, concept
and reference are detailed and illustrated. In following this empirical methodology, the study
is able to confirm important findings concerning the style of Brossa which have been
suggested in previous, interpretation-based literary studies on this important avant-gardist
author.
