Synopsis

This introductory text is a companion volume to "Language and Literature", integrating language and literary study to show how discourse analysis can contribute to an understanding of the creative use of the larger patterns of language. Making extensive use of progressive practical exercises designed to promote fully integrated literary and linguistic competence, the book draws on drama from Shakespeare to Pinter, poetry from Donne to Auden and novels from Joyce to non-canonical authors such as Flann O'Brien.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This collection shows students of English and applied linguistics ways in which language and literary study can be integrated. By drawing on a wide range of texts by mainly British and American writers, from a variety of different periods, the contributors show how discourse stylistics can provide models for the systematic description of, for example, dialogue in fiction; language of drama and balladic poetry; speech presentation; the interactive properties of metre; the communicative context of author/reader. Among the texts examined are novels, poetry and drama by major twentieth-century writers such as Joyce, Auden, Pinter and Hopkins, as well as examples from Shakespeare, Donne and Milton.

Each chapter has a wide range of exercises for practical analysis, an extensive glossary and a comprehensive bibliography with suggestions for further reading. The book will be particularly useful to undergraduate students of English and applied linguistics and advanced students of modern languages or English as a foreign language.
