摘　　要：In 1962,the Russian linguist Romain Jakobson and the French anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss co-conducted a study on the poem The Cats(Les Chats)by Charles Baudelaire.Based on linguistic and ethnological references,their study focuses on a structural analysis of the famous Baudelairian sonnet at several levels such as phonological,phonetic,syntactic,prosodic,and semantic.Many critical papers were published as soon as this work appeared.Faced with the crowd of dispute and opposition,Jakobson and Lévi-Strauss wrote a series of journalistic or monographic articles to explain and defend themselves.Our study aims to be a systematic summary of the dispute,proposing to analyze the criticisms of Riffatere,Mounin,and Frandon,and giving a reading of Jakobson’s reply.In conclusion,we will try to relate this debate to the French New Criticism(la Nouvelle Critique)to understand its historical and theoretical importance.
