Summary/Abstract: The paper is concerned with the most basic compositional division to be found in lyrical texts, i.e. that between fragments referring to some kind of experience open to the author (lyrical subject), and fragments where the author, based on this experience, discovers an important more general truth. It is shown that this opposition may be marked by the structure of relevant tropes, since there is a strong tendency for more informative tropes to appear in fragments of the latter type.
