Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the conceptualization of the functional changes that have shaped the development of the verse-form phenomenon and, as well, the poetic enjambment inseparably related to it. By dividing the forms of poetic discontinuity into kinetic and semantic enjambments, it shows the transition from earlier, more archaic forms of incompatibility of the syntactic and verse orders, related to the verse synaphy (over-verse continuity), to subsequent forms of poetic overflow with inherent, independent sign properties and artistic motivation founded on the semantization of the poetic movement called semantic enjambment.
