Beskrivning
Language and World Creation in Poems and Other Texts introduces an interdisciplinary and practical approach to the analysis of poetry which focuses on text worlds, namely the contexts, scenarios or types of reality that readers construct in their interaction with the language of texts. The book demonstrates in detail three ways of approaching poetic text worlds, namely as discourse situations, possible worlds, and mental constructs. Clear and detailed introductions to linguistic theories of definiteness and deixis, possible world theory and schema theory are included, making the book accessible to readers who are unfamiliar with these frameworks.

Mer om författaren

Elena Semino is Lecturer in the Dept. of Linguistics and Modern English Language at Lancaster University. She is extremely well thought of academically and is an active member of the stylistics assoc. PALA. Having Mick as the more experienced series editor and 'name', coupled with Elena as a young, bright academic, the combination of the two editors should work well.

"...highly recommend[ed]...to students who are looking for an initiation into the three complex areas the author so sharply covers and to scholars in need of some schema refreshment."  Language Awareness
