這樣，我們就參考雅各布森的六要素，按照一一對應的原則，得到了文學的六要素和文學的六功能。如圖所示。

In this way, we have obtained the six elements of literature and the six functions of literature by referring to Jakobson's six elements, following the principle of one-to-one correspondence. This is shown in the diagram.

於是，我們就這樣，沿著雅各布森指出的道路，在雅各布森的基礎上，往前多走了一小步，就得到了一種新的解釋方案。文學活動和語言活動一樣，意義都產生於交流的過程。而在這個過程中，具有六種必要的要素，其中每個要素會影響意義的生成。而每個要素每個功能，在不同的情境下，都有可能主導的整個文學活動的過程。

Thus, we have followed the path pointed out by Jakobson and took one small step further than Jakobson, obtained a new explanation. Literary activity, like linguistic activity, has meaning arising from the process of communication. And in this process, there are six necessary elements, each of which affects the production of meaning. And each element each function, in different specific situations, has the potential to dominate the whole process of communication.

有很多文學理論家都做過類似的嘗試，將文學理論歸於幾個核心的要素，從而得到一個整體的解釋框架。如果讓雅各布森來做這項工作，他可能就會像這一小節所描述的那樣，根據自己的語言學框架，提出一種同構的文學研究的框架。在這些林林總總的嘗試中，最為知名的一種，大概是美國文學理論家，艾布拉姆斯在《鏡與燈》中提出的文學的四要素理論。簡單來說，這一理論認為，每一個作品總是涉及四種要素，作品、作者、讀者和世界。我們發現前三個要素正好和雅各布森的發送者，接收者和信息相對。而世界則大抵和雅各布森的語境相對應。相比而言，雅各布森的框架甚至還要更精細一些，還注意到了通常被忽略的媒介要素：接觸和信碼。

There are many literary theorists who have made similar attempts to attribute literary theory to a few core elements in order to obtain an overall explanatory framework. Had Jakobson been left to do this work, he might have proposed an isomorphic framework for literary studies based on his own linguistic framework, as described in this sub-section above. Probably one of the best known of these attempts is the four-elements literary theory proposed by the American literary theorist, M. H. Abrams, in The Mirror and the Lamp: Romantic Theory and the Critical Tradition (1971). Simply put, this theory holds that every work always involves four elements, the work, the author, the reader, and the world. We find that the first three elements are exactly opposite to Jakobson's Addresser, Addressee and Message. The world, on the other hand, corresponds roughly to Jakobson's context. It would seem that Jakobson's framework is even more refined, noting the usually neglected elements of the medium: contact and code.

雖然我們不能下結論說，來自於雅各布森的文學的六要素理論，能夠周延文學理論所有可能的論題，但他的框架解釋範圍已經很寬泛了。而這樣一種框架，只需要在他的基礎上，沿著他的方向，原封不動地把語言六要素挨個對應一下文學批評的術語，就可以得到了。

Although we cannot conclude that the six-elements literary theory, which comes from Jakobson, is able to encompass all possible theses of literary theory, the refinement and breadth of this framework is also already very satisfactory. And such a framework can be obtained simply by building on his foundation and following his direction by corresponding the six elements of language, one by one, to the terms of literary criticism as they are.
