Whilst poetry and fiction have been subjected to extensive
linguistic analysis, drama has long remained a neglected field for
detailed study. Vimala Herman argues that drama should be of
particular interest to linguists because of its form, dialogue and
subsequent translation into performance. The subsequent interaction
that occurs on stage is a rich and fruitful source of analysis and
can be studied by using discourse methods that linguists employ for
real-life interaction. Shakespeare, Pinter, Osborne, Beckett,
Chekhov, and Shaw are just some of the dramatists whose material is
drawn upon.
Each chapter contains a theoretical section in which major
concepts of each framework are explained before the relevance of
the framework to dramatic discourse is analyzed and explored using
textual examples. This book will be of interest to undergraduates
and postgraduates studying in the areas of literary linguistics and
stylistics, or anyone specialising in the relationship between the
text and performance.
