Commentary on "Childe Harold's Pilchardage"

Broadly, the subject theme of this work can be classified into the semiotic and structurally linguistic semantic paradigmatic diachronic development motifs, and the reconstructive lexemes, whose co-membership prefigures the isomorphic multi-dimensional semantic space syntagmas underlying the fundamental clausal dislocation. What do we mean by this? Essentially, this is a semantic series - i.e. transposing the anti-utopian inter-textual speech-situations to an incongruous metanymity, which archaicises the naive reductionism compounded in our metaphysical Byronism. This may be represented symbolically as follows: -

[{ __Anthony __Mellors}/ --> (b)(y)rOn SOCi.Ety {()} --->---- ([ßull.SH1t)] _ _(k.)(c.)(u.)(f.)_ _(k.)(c.)(u.)(f.)_ _(k.)(c.)(u.)(f.)_

The narratee, in this case a small furry thing from alpha-Centauri, is a lexical constructionistic paradigm, who serves as a paraphysical embodiment of the eleven-dimensional equation of dynamism: deloped by spiritual interpolation. This device, a pecuniary escarpment of the frondose parametric sheaf-collectivisation, is an agro-actual manifold: a hedgerow in the field of semiotic or linguaphonic self-expression, whose stick of literary criticism is a necessary pre-requisite to leading the cattle of symbolic parable into the byre of quasi-comprehensible poetry.

Our initial suspicions of this apparently over-zealous extrapolation are, therefore ploughed up by the tractor of rational lexical analysis, and we are no longer, thereby forced to child-molest the tender fecundity of the semantic paradigm (CH).
