This study is based on a class experience, in Estudos Linguísticos, course taken by students of the degree in Languages. We started by reflecting about structural linguistics. Soon Jakobson shows up with his essential articles about the two complementary axes of language related to aphasic disturbances and about the functions of language, emphasizing the role of the poetic function as the one which “projects the principle of equivalence from the axis of selection into the axis of combination” (2016, p. 7). To understand these concepts which point out to the expressivity in language, we apply them in different texts, in different uses of language. The poem is one of them. Then we present the study done for the students and with them which analyses the two polar figures of speech – metaphor and metonymy – applied to the Manuel Bandeiras’ poem “Água-forte” (1986). Based on the structural principles elaborated by Saussure (1974) and Jakobson (1985), we bring the two axes of organization of language close to these figures. This analysis allows observing the constitution of meaning, produces multiple readings and, mainly, allows to observe discoursive effects related to the knowledge of expressive qualities in language.
