This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre propose aux lecteurs un échantillonnage aussi large que possible de textes littéraires anciens et contemporains, de prose ou de poésie, représentatifs du monde de la littérature anglophone. Entièrement rédigé en anglais, il veut guider les étudiants dans leur travail de lecture en leur proposant deux axes d'orientation : le groupement de textes autour de motifs culturels récurrents et celui autour de genres. Pour chacun des chapitres, une analyse littéraire en anglais de deux textes ou davantage offre au lecteur des modèles d'utilisation pratique de quelques concepts clefs de la critique littéraire actuelle. Un glossaire en appendice permet au lecteur de réfléchir à ces concepts, tandis qu'une bibliographie critique est destinée à amorcer une recherche personnelle. Quant aux textes eux-mêmes, ils sont accompagnés d'une introduction générale par chapitre rappelant les principaux textes fondateurs, d'un glossaire d'appoint permettant une lecture immédiate, d'une courte introduction à l'auteur et d'une liste d'œuvres destinées à amorcer la lecture d'œuvres entières.

Download or read book Text Analysis with R written by Matthew L. Jockers and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-30 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in its second edition, Text Analysis with R provides a practical introduction to computational text analysis using the open source programming language R. R is an extremely popular programming language, used throughout the sciences; due to its accessibility, R is now used increasingly in other research areas. In this volume, readers immediately begin working with text, and each chapter examines a new technique or process, allowing readers to obtain a broad exposure to core R procedures and a fundamental understanding of the possibilities of computational text analysis at both the micro and the macro scale. Each chapter builds on its predecessor as readers move from small scale “microanalysis” of single texts to large scale “macroanalysis” of text corpora, and each concludes with a set of practice exercises that reinforce and expand upon the chapter lessons. The book’s focus is on making the technical palatable and making the technical useful and immediately gratifying. Text Analysis with R is written with students and scholars of literature in mind but will be applicable to other humanists and social scientists wishing to extend their methodological toolkit to include quantitative and computational approaches to the study of text. Computation provides access to information in text that readers simply cannot gather using traditional qualitative methods of close reading and human synthesis. This new edition features two new chapters: one that introduces dplyr and tidyr in the context of parsing and analyzing dramatic texts to extract speaker and receiver data, and one on sentiment analysis using the syuzhet package. It is also filled with updated material in every chapter to integrate new developments in the field, current practices in R style, and the use of more efficient algorithms.

Download or read book What Writing Does and How It Does It written by Charles Bazerman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-12-08 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In What Writing Does and How It Does It, editors Charles Bazerman and Paul Prior offer a sophisticated introduction to methods for understanding, studying, and analyzing texts and writing practices. This volume addresses a variety of approaches to analyzing texts, and considers the processes of writing, exploring textual practices and their contexts, and examining what texts do and how texts mean rather than what they mean. Included are traditional modes of analysis (rhetorical, literary, linguistic), as well as newer modes, such as text and talk, genre and activity analysis, and intertextual analysis. The chapters have been developed to provide answers to a specified set of questions, with each one offering: *a preview of the chapter's content and purpose; *an introduction to basic concepts, referring to key theoretical and research studies in the area; *details on the types of data and questions for which the analysis is best used; *examples from a wide-ranging group of texts, including educational materials, student writing, published literature, and online and electronic media; *one or more applied analyses, with a clear statement of procedures for analysis and illustrations of a particular sample of data; and *a brief summary, suggestions for additional readings, and a set of activities. The side-by-side comparison of methods allows the reader to see the multi-dimensionality of writing, facilitating selection of the best method for a particular research question. The volume contributors are experts from linguistics, communication studies, rhetoric, literary analysis, document design, sociolinguistics, education, ethnography, and cultural psychology, and each utilizes a specific mode of text analysis. With its broad range of methodological examples, What Writing Does and How It Does It is a unique and invaluable resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and for researchers in education, composition, ESL and applied linguistics, communication, L1 and L2 learning, print media, and electronic media. It will also be useful in all social sciences and humanities that place importance on texts and textual practices, such as English, writing, and rhetoric.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introducing Electronic Text Analysis is a practical and much needed introduction to corpora – bodies of linguistic data. Written specifically for students studying this topic for the first time, the book begins with a discussion of the underlying principles of electronic text analysis. It then examines how these corpora enhance our understanding of literary and non-literary works. In the first section the author introduces the concepts of concordance and lexical frequency, concepts which are then applied to a range of areas of language study. Key areas examined are the use of on-line corpora to complement traditional stylistic analysis, and the ways in which methods such as concordance and frequency counts can reveal a particular ideology within a text. Presenting an accessible and thorough understanding of the underlying principles of electronic text analysis, the book contains abundant illustrative examples and a glossary with definitions of main concepts. It will also be supported by a companion website with links to on-line corpora so that students can apply their knowledge to further study.

Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: - A unique approach demonstrates the connections between "literary" and "nonliterary" texts. In its four chapters, Text Book reveals and explores the features of texts -- such as narrative, metaphor, and intertextuality -- that literature and ordinary spoken and written language share. Understanding these features makes students better readers and more confident interpreters of both literature and life; using them makes students more creative thinkers and more venturesome writers in their introductory literature and writing courses.- A wide variety of readings provides numerous examples of key textual features. Playing off an adventurous choice of 20 stories, 23 poems, and four plays -- the traditional literary genres -- and many inviting "nonliterary" selections (including anecdotes, parables, autobiographical excerpts, fairy tales, and advertisements) highlight common features and practices of written texts. One hundred and two exciting pieces in all exemplify important composing processes such as revision and metaphor. Works include Paul Auster's "Tell Me a Story, " Susan Griffin's A Chorus of Stones, and many more. Text Book has enough readings to stand alone--yet can easily be supplemented with other texts.- Stimulating assignments prompt students to generate their own analytical and imaginative texts. The discussion and writing prompts after each reading -- such as "Revising Anecdote to Story" -- provide more than 300 proven assignments that enab
