Textual Explorations General Editors- Mick Short, Lancaster
University Elena Semino, Lancaster University The focus of this
series is on the stylistic analysis of literary and non-literary
texts, and the theoretical issues which such work raises. Textual
Explorations will include books that cover studies of literary
authors, genres and other groupings, stylistic studies of
non-literary texts, translation study, the teaching of language and
literature, the empirical study of literature, and corpus
approaches to stylistics and literature study. Books in the series
will centre on texts written in English. Readership of the series
is mainly undergraduate and postgraduate students, although
advanced sixth formers will also find the books accessible. The
series will be of particular interest to those who study English
language, English literature, text linguistics, discourse analysis
and communication studies. Language & Characterisation- People
in Plays & Other Texts explores how the words of a text create
a particular impression of a character in the reader's mind.
Drawing together theories from linguistics, social cognition and
literary stylistics, it is the first book-length study to focus on:
the role of language and characterisation characterisation in the
dialogue of play texts Containing numerous examples from
Shakespeare's plays, the book also considers a wide range of other
genres, including, prose fiction, verse, films, advertisements,
jokes and newspapers. Language and Characterisation is as practical
as it is theoretical and equips readers with analytical frameworks
to reveal and explain both the cognitive and the linguistic sides
of characterisation. Clear and detailed introductions are given to
the theories, and useful suggestions for further analysis are also
made at the end of each part of the book. The book will be
essential reading for students and researchers of language,
literature and communication.
