Articles liés à Language in Literature: An Introduction to Stylistics
Synopsis
An activity-based introduction to stylistics, this textbook explains some of the topics in literary linguistics and helps students in analysing written texts. How can you tell good writing - the excellent, the brilliant and the ingenious - from bad writing - the weak, the banal and the confusing? By looking at the technique and the craft of writing, Language in Literature examines the ways in which language is organised to create particular meanings or effects. Covering a range of topics - naming patterns, modality and evaluation, the structure of simple narratives, the recording of character speech and thought, the dynamics of dialogue, presuppositions and textual revision - the book presents the structuring principles within the English language. Activities and end-of-chapter commentaries encourage a 'learning by doing' approach and equips the reader with the main linguistic terms necessary for the analysis of literary and non-literary texts.

Revue de presse
...one of the best (if not the best) of its kind...it deserves to be highly recommended to students...anyone in need of a textbook for an introductory course in literary stylistics ought to give it serious consideration. (Jean Jacques Weber)
It is very often informative, not assuming a great deal of prior knowledge and yet not patronising either. Very valuable for developing skills for other parts of the course. (Dr C Thijs, University College Dublin 2005-02-24)
