First published in 1982, this title grew from a series of essays on
various aspects of narrative style; the result is a finished
product that melds literary theory with linguistic methodology. It
is argued that, where linguistic theory intersects with literary
theory, it is narrative that provides the crucial 'experiment' for
deciding between a communication and a non-communication theory of
language and, by extension, of literature. Chapters discuss such
areas as subjectivity in direct and indirect speech, the absence of
the narrator, and the development of narrative style. With a
detailed introduction to the subject, this reissue will be of value
to students of linguistics and literature with a particular
interest in narrative style and linguistic theory.
