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.
