Linguistics and Literary Studies / Linguistik und Literaturwissenschaft - Interfaces, Encounters, Transfers / Begegnungen, Interferenzen und Kooperationen (Hardcover)

This volume explores the interface between linguistics and literary studies. Theoretical and textual analyses help illustrate the common features between everyday discourse and literature, and show the potentials for a collaborative approach between literary scholars and linguists in understanding speech acts and reference; inference, cognitive and cultural background; rhetoric, styles of speaking and writing; as well as perspectives and genres.
