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.

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.

This title will be of interest to students of literary theory.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Linguistic Analysis by : Bernd Heine
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Linguistic Analysis written by Bernd Heine and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 1217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook compares the main analytic frameworks and methods of contemporary linguistics. It offers a unique overview of linguistic theory, revealing the common concerns of competing approaches. By showing their current and potential applications it provides the means by which linguists and others can judge what are the most useful models for the task in hand. Distinguished scholars from all over the world explain the rationale and aims of over thirty explanatory approaches to the description, analysis, and understanding of language. Each chapter considers the main goals of the model; the relation it proposes from between lexicon, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and phonology; the way it defines the interactions between cognition and grammar; what it counts as evidence; and how it explains linguistic change and structure. The Oxford Handbook of Linguistic Analysis offers an indispensable guide for everyone researching any aspect of language including those in linguistics, comparative philology, cognitive science, developmental philology, cognitive science, developmental psychology, computational science, and artificial intelligence. This second edition has been updated to include seven new chapters looking at linguistic units in language acquisition, conversation analysis, neurolinguistics, experimental phonetics, phonological analysis, experimental semantics, and distributional typology.

Book Synopsis Linguistic Justice by : Helder De Schutter
Download or read book Linguistic Justice written by Helder De Schutter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world contains over 6000 languages and less than 200 states to accommodate them. This creates the important normative question of how to respond politically to linguistic diversity. What is a just language policy? Are language minorities entitled to language protection? Should language rights be accorded to immigrants? Is the universal rise of English as a lingua franca to be applauded or to be regretted? The most important and comprehensive thinker within this debate over linguistic justice is Philippe Van Parijs. In his bold and controversial theory of linguistic justice, Van Parijs argues that the rise of English is a good thing, as well as that all language groups are entitled to grab a territory on which only their language receives public recognition. This collection, bringing together some of the most influential contemporary political philosophers, presents a critical review of Van Parijs’s theory and gives a state-of-the-art overview of the prevailing positions on linguistic justice within political philosophy. It will be of interest to students and scholars studying philosophy, politics, linguistics, international relations and law. This book was published as a special issue of Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy.
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 232 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 The Language of Criticism (Routledge Revivals) by : John Casey
Download or read book The Language of Criticism (Routledge Revivals) written by John Casey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-07-26 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1966, the Language of Criticism was the first systematic attempt to understand literary criticism through the methods of linguistic philosophy and the later work of Wittgenstein. Literary critical and aesthetic judgements are rational, but are not to be explained by scientific methods. Criticism discovers reasons for a response, rather than causes, and is a rational procedure, rather than the expression of simply subjective taste, or of ideology, or of the power relations of society. The book aims at a philosophical justification of the tradition of practical criticism that runs from Matthew Arnold, through T.S.Eliot to I.A.Richards, William Empson, F.R.Leavis and the American New Critics. It argues that the close reading of texts moves justifiably from text to world, from aesthetic to ethical valuation. In this it differs radically from the schools of "theory" that have recently dominated the humanities.

Book Synopsis Modern Language, Philosophy and Criticism by : Wayne Deakin
Download or read book Modern Language, Philosophy and Criticism written by Wayne Deakin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-06-23 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This books delineates the seismic shifts of the twentieth century humanities by way of a close examination of the dynamic landscape of modern language, criticism and philosophy. In this manner, it argues that both philosophy and literary criticism have dovetailed in the twenty-first century. Starting out as a survey of literary criticism in its broadest terms, later chapters - which are more expository - assess recent movements within modern literary theory. These are located with respect to the post-Russell and Fregean “linguistic turn” in philosophy. Designed for specialists and non-specialists alike; philosophers, literary critics and even students of the modern critical tradition, the argument takes a novel stance towards modern criticism, language and philosophy, arguing for a return to a more formalist and rhetorical approach to literary criticism, while taking care not to indulge too many “political pathologies” when engaging with texts.

Book Synopsis Subjective Criticism by : David Bleich
Download or read book Subjective Criticism written by David Bleich and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2019-12-01 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1981. The meaning and objectives of literature, argues David Bleich, are created by the reader, who depends on community consensus to validate his or her judgements. Bleich proposes that the study of English be consciously reoriented from a knowledge-finding to a knowledge-making enterprise. This involves a new explanation of language acquisition in childhood, a psychologically disciplined concept of linguistic and literary response, and a recognition of the intellectual authority of pedagogical communities to originate and establish knowledge. Amplifying his theoretical model with subjective responses drawn from his own classroom experience, Bleich suggests ways in which the study of language and literature can become more fully integrated with each person's responsibility for what he or she knows.
