Book Synopsis The Languages of Literature by : Roger Fowler
Download or read book The Languages of Literature written by Roger Fowler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-08-19 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Language of Literature, first published in 1971, Roger Fowler argues that the vitality and centrality of the verbal dimension of literature, and, read as a whole, the papers in this collection imply a consistent point of view on language in literature. The author focuses on the continuity of language in literature with language outside literature, on its cultural appropriateness and adjustment, and on its power to create aesthetic patterns and to organise concepts, to make fictions. This title will be of interest to students of literary theory.
Book Synopsis Linguistic Perspectives on Literature (RLE Linguistics C: Applied Linguistics) by : Marvin K.L. Ching
Download or read book Linguistic Perspectives on Literature (RLE Linguistics C: Applied Linguistics) written by Marvin K.L. Ching and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although linguistics is often a technical and increasingly abstruse discipline, many linguists retain a concern for the way in which linguistics can shed light on literature and literary problems. In their introductory chapter, the editors of this collection of essays, by linguists on either side of the Atlantic, enunciate a bold stance that defines the theoretical relationship between linguistics and literature, delimits what should be considered a linguistic analysis of literature, and explains how such an analysis is related to current theories of readership and literary criticism. The editors’ theory of the relationship between linguistic and literary studies stipulates an eclectic rather than a holistic approach, and the essays they have gathered together reflect this belief. The contributions include such varied approaches as transformational grammar, text grammar and speech act theory, and the topics analysed include many that are at the heart of literature, such as topicalization, imagery, figurative language, ambiguity, and the play on words through puns. The anthology as a whole illustrates how linguistic theory illuminates the very nature of literary language. It also gives evidence of the new insights into literature that have arisen from a close analysis of the language in which the literature is encoded.
Book Synopsis The Language and Literature Reader by : Ronald Carter
Download or read book The Language and Literature Reader written by Ronald Carter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-19 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Language and Literature Reader is an invaluable resource for students of English literature, language, and linguistics. Bringing together the most significant work in the field with integrated editorial material, this Reader is a structured and accessible tool for the student and scholar. Divided into three sections, Foundations, Developments and New Directions, the Reader provides an overview of the discipline from the early stages in the 1960s and 70s, through the new theories and practices of the 1980s and 90s, to the most recent and contemporary work in the field. Each article contains a brief introduction by the editors situating it in the context of developing work in the discipline and glossing it in terms of the section and of the book as a whole. The final section concludes with a ‘history and manifesto’, written by the editors, which places developments in the area of stylistics within a brief history of the field and offers a polemical perspective on the future of a growing and influential discipline.
Book Synopsis Theory of Literature by : Rene Wellek
Download or read book Theory of Literature written by Rene Wellek and published by Dalkey Archive Press. This book was released on 2024-04-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theory of Literature was born from the collaboration of Ren Wellek, a Vienna-born student of Prague School linguistics, and Austin Warren, an independently minded "old New Critic." Unlike many other textbooks of its era, however, this classic kowtows to no dogma and toes no party line. Wellek and Warren looked at literature as both a social product--influenced by politics, economics, etc.--as well as a self-contained system of formal structures. Incorporating examples from Aristotle to Coleridge, written in clear, uncondescending prose, Theory of Literature is a work which, especially in its suspicion of simplistic explanations and its distrust of received wisdom, remains extremely relevant to the study of literature today.

Book Synopsis Reading Between the Lines by : Peter C. Patrikis
Download or read book Reading Between the Lines written by Peter C. Patrikis and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a collection of new and stimulating approaches to reading in a foreign language. The contributors to the volume all place reading at the heart of learning a foreign language and entering a foreign culture, and they consider issues and methods of language education from such diverse perspectives as cognitive theory, applied linguistics, technology as hermeneutic, history, literary theory, and cross-cultural analysis. The contributors—teachers of French, German, Greek, Japanese, and Spanish—call for language teachers and theorists to refocus on the importance of reading skills. Emphasizing the process of reading as analyzing and understanding another culture, they document various practical methods, including the use of computer technology for enhancing language learning and fostering cross-cultural understanding.
Book Synopsis Theory of Literature by : Paul H. Fry
Download or read book Theory of Literature written by Paul H. Fry and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2012-04-24 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing his perennially popular course to the page, Yale University Professor Paul H. Fry offers in this welcome book a guided tour of the main trends in twentieth-century literary theory. At the core of the book's discussion is a series of underlying questions: What is literature, how is it produced, how can it be understood, and what is its purpose? Fry engages with the major themes and strands in twentieth-century literary theory, among them the hermeneutic circle, New Criticism, structuralism, linguistics and literature, Freud and fiction, Jacques Lacan's theories, the postmodern psyche, the political unconscious, New Historicism, the classical feminist tradition, African American criticism, queer theory, and gender performativity. By incorporating philosophical and social perspectives to connect these many trends, the author offers readers a coherent overall context for a deeper and richer reading of literature.
Book Synopsis New Approaches to Literature for Language Learning by : Jeneen Naji
Download or read book New Approaches to Literature for Language Learning written by Jeneen Naji and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-10 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book unpacks recent changes in the landscape of literature and language teaching, and aims to find new explanations for the altered relationships between readers and writers, the democratisation of authorship, and the emergence of new ways of using language. By examining topics as various as literature and technology, multimodality, and new Englishes, the authors take a fresh look at the use of literature as a tool in the teaching of English to second-language speakers. More than simply a way of teaching aesthetic and ethical values and rhetorical skills, they argue that literature can also be used to help students to critically evaluate assumptions about society, culture and power which underpin the production and reception of texts. The book relates theories of language acquisition and literary criticism to examples of literary texts from a wide range of global literature in English, and discusses new ways of engaging with it, such as transmedia story telling, book blogs and slam poetry. It will be of interest to language teachers and teacher trainers, and to students and scholars of applied linguistics, TESOL, and digital literacies.

Book Synopsis Theories of Reading by : Karin Littau
Download or read book Theories of Reading written by Karin Littau and published by Polity. This book was released on 2006-12-04 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do literary theorists see reading as an act of dispassionate textual analysis and meaning production, when historical evidence shows that readers have often read excessively, obsessively, and for sensory stimulation? Posing these and other questions, this is the first major work to bring insights from book history to bear on literary history and theory. In so doing, the book charts a compelling and innovative history of theories of reading. While literary theorists have greatly contributed to our understanding of the text-reader relation, they have rarely taken into account that the relation between a book and a reader is also a relation between two bodies: one made of paper and ink, the other flesh and blood. This is why, Karin Littau argues, we need to look beyond the words on the page, and pay attention to the technical innovations in the physical format of the book. Only then is it possible to understand more fully how media technology has changed our experience of reading, and why media history presents a challenge to our conceptions of what reading is. Each chapter places the reader in specific disciplinary and historical contexts: literature, criticism, philosophy, cultural history, bibliography, film, new media. Overall, the history recounted in this book points to a split between modern literary study which regards reading as a reducibly mental activity, and a tradition reaching back to antiquity which assumed that reading was not only about sense-making but also about sensation. Theories of Reading: Books, Bodies and Bibliomania will be essential reading for all students and scholars of literary theory and history as well as of great interest to students of the history of the book and new media.

Book Synopsis The Language of Criticism by : Jacqueline Margaret Henkel
Download or read book The Language of Criticism written by Jacqueline Margaret Henkel and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jacqueline M. Henkel explores the impact of linguistics and ordinary language philosophy on literary theory over the past four decades. Her readings of key texts relocate the principal literary issues raised by the interaction between these fields. She shows how various linguistic models - among them Saussurean and Prague School linguistics, generative grammar, and speech-act theory - have affected such major movements in literary criticism as stylistics, Jakobsonian structuralism, narratology, reader-oriented criticism, and deconstruction and its offshoots. Among the major figures she discusses, in addition to Saussure and Jakobson, are Chomsky, Derrida, Austin, and Searle.
Book Synopsis Literature in Second Language Education by : Piera Carroli
Download or read book Literature in Second Language Education written by Piera Carroli and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-10-27 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes the study of literary texts as a vital component of L2 linguistic and cultural knowledge. The research, conducted with students of Italian in Australia, is situated in the wider L2 context, and compared to studies on students' perceptions of English and French literary texts in countries such as Canada, Italy, Australia, Germany and the Ukraine. The first part of the book takes the debate on the inclusion of literature in language education as a springboard for posing crucial questions about how students, and educators, view literature. The theoretical framework draws from educational, linguistic, philosophical and literary theories, and focuses on the role of awareness in learning and the role of the learner's experience. The second part of the book evaluates an innovative approach to teaching and learning L2 literature, and discusses the application of this to the language classroom. Containing a balance of theoretical and practical concerns, this book will be invaluable reading for researchers of applied linguistics and second language acquisition.
Book Synopsis Linguistic Criticism by : Roger Fowler
Download or read book Linguistic Criticism written by Roger Fowler and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1986 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A particularly fruitful development in literary studies has been the application of ideas drawn from linguistics. Precise analytical methods help the practical criticism of texts, while at the same time the theory of language has illuminated literary theory. Linguistic Criticism is an accessible introduction to this often confusing subject. Fowler sets out clearly and simply a variety of analytical techniques whose application he demonstrates in discussions of a wide range of texts drawn from fiction, poetry, and drama. He concentrates on structures that relate literature to ordinary language, stressing the importance of the reader's everyday language skills. This second edition has clarified and expanded sections on the role of the reader in literary criticism and includes more twentieth-century texts and examples.
