Abstract

This article examines some of the causes of the strangeness of Góngora's language, and analyzes metapoetic commentaries about the sound quality of his texts. It concludes, always taking in consideration the Polémica Gongorina of the period, that the sound of Góngora's verses is a powerful echo of the meaning of the words that form it.
