This book is based on a close study of modern drama texts. In the
first section - Dialogue - it studies specific drama texts. Drama
has been neglected by linguistic studies of literature, and this
book develops a new area of literary-linguistic stylistics. It
demonstrates how recent advances in the sociolinguistic analysis of
conversation (discourse analysis) can account for readers' and
audiences' intuitions about dramatic dialogue. The second section -
Discourse - uses these studies to develop a powerful and general
model of spoken discourse. As well as accounting for the
utterance-by-utterance organization of dramatic texts, it provides
a descriptive model for the analysis of naturally occurring
conversation. Literary texts and natural conversation are used to
illustrate each other.
