Keywords: existentialist stylistics; “esteme”; expression / expressiveness

Summary/Abstract: Praised for his attempts of alignment to the Western epistemological horizon, (“the first Romanian structuralist”, according to some of the post-war editors), D. Caracostea had brilliant followers. The Eminescu exegesis school in Cluj was established starting from his ideas. He was also highly contested. This article aims at emphasizing the scientific coordinates of his 1938 study Arta cuvântului la Eminescu (Eminescu’s Artistic Use of Language), by identifying its contested elements (flawed wording, transcendental vision, nationalism), as well as those that are valid (an attempt to go beyond deviance stylistics, multiple levels of stylistic analysis, comments on image morphology).
