Abstract: The Yale School finds that, following the transforming and generating mechanism of the three dimensions of language (the signified dimension, the intersubjective dimension, and the self-reflective and self-concern dimension), literary speech creates numerous signification methods or rhetorical strategies to defuse the primal paradox of speech. These methods or strategies include singularity or distortion, paradoxical expression, and spatialization; repetition, concealment or silence, symbol-giving; the metaphor of metaphor, and thematizing the unspeakable; suspension, generativity, testimony, and self-endowments. They not only reveal the mystery of the unspeakable between the tension of the speakable and the unspeakable, but also lead speech to the primal origin of thought and the world, offering a literary verdict to the primal origin or the ultimate aporia of metaphysics.
