Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

"Ambivalence refers to the simultaneous combination of two opposite attitudes, ideas, etc., towards a person, a thing, etc. this study attempts to trove not only that ambiguity is a semantic-pragmatic device, but also that it is a result of certain stylistic deviations from the norm of the Linguistic levels of Language. The study also hypothesizes that ambiguity in poetic texts highly affects meaning, semantic deviation is the most frequent type which creates different types of ambivalence. Furthermore, the article focuses on the pivotal place of ambiguity that modernist critical theory ascribed to ambiguity in the definition of meaning and structure in poetry. In particular, we consider the way in which the category of experience is deployed in the discourse of ambiguity but is limited to only certain narratives of so-called experience. We argue for a contemporary practice less focused on ambiguity and more on notation and provisional structure, demonstrating key elements in poems. "
