Summary/Abstract: Having the principles of poetic linguistics as a starting point, principles that have been developed and founded by the linguist Eugeniu Coseriu and professor Mircea Borcila within the School for Integral Linguistics of the Babes-Bolyai University of Cluj Napoca, the article suggests a new approach to the reading of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, an approach opposed to the rhetoric vision of metaphors. The article also points, within the same approach, to the priorities and finality of the poetical creative act of Dante’s text.
