Syntactic Iconicity

Syntactic Iconicity is a theoretical construct in poetic syntax whereby the structural arrangement of linguistic elements formally mirrors, through parallelism, economy, or sequencing, the conceptual or experiential content it expresses, thereby establishing a motivated correspondence between syntactic form and semantic meaning.
