Abstract : The present study aims to prove that Roman Jakobson and Michael Bakhtin tried to provide the Carrefour between hazy abstractions of philosophy and exclusively descriptive and positivistic formalism of linguistics. The research seeks parallels between Bakhtin’s and Jakobson’s theoretical positions regarding language and literary devices. It purports to use phenomenology as a framework to see the formalist positions of both. It proves, however, that these writers shared certain commonalities as well as differences. Although they both contributed towards developing a Formalist literary and linguistic tradition, they diverged in significant ways about phenomenological positions. The research paper proves that Jakobson enriched Formalist literary criticism by adding Structuralism flavour to it, whereas Bakhtin refurbished Formalism by conjugating it with the sociological conception of literary criticism.
