The tensive style, as developed by the semiotic discourses, has built an interaction between two levels of discourse, namely the intensity and extensity. First of all, we may return in terms of content and secondly in terms of the expression of literary text. The tensive intersection of these two planes of language creates a tension that gives rise to conflicts of meaning. From what tensive process is it possible to study these conflicts? In what tensive style is a relationship with the cultural style established? This essay aims to demonstrate it through the poetic text of Baudelaire, the conflict in meaning while using the tensive style and the role it plays in the choice of value nder construction.
