The work of Potebnja, a leading Ukrainian linguist of the 19th century, has significantly influenced modern literary criticism, particularly Russian formalism and structuralism. In his study, Fizer carefully reconstructs Potebnja's theory of literature from the psycholinguistic formulations found in his works on language, mythology, and folklore.
