also explores different assessment methods for skills such as

Discourse Analysis is an important discipline within Linguistics as
it deals with meanings that are user and use oriented which emerge
in context from the considerations of who speaks, what language, to
whom, when, where, how, and why. It considers how language, both
spoken and written, enacts social and cultural perspectives. This
book, Discourse Analysis of a Novel, presents both a theory of
language in use and a method of research in Discourse Stylistics.
It represents speaker/writer meaning in context and portrays the
structure of supra-sentential texts and social transactions by
imposing the pragmatic framework upon the data from Vikram Seth's
magnum opus A SUITABLE BOY. It incorporates perspectives from a
variety of approaches and different disciplines and develops a
multi-level discussion of language use and meaning in the novel.
With its main focus on the textual and interpersonal pragmatics,
the book will greatly help students and scholars from a range of
backgrounds and interests in Linguistics, Literature and Sociology
to formulate their own views on discourse and engage in their own
discourse analysis of fictional texts.
