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, \u003cem\u003eLanguage in Literature\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46897322229911,"sku":"9780340662144","price":5785.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780340662144.webp?v=1770362261","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/language-in-literature-9780340662144","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
