Language Through Literature by Paul Simpson
An introduction to the English language through the medium of English literature. Through the use of examples from poetry, prose and drama, this work offers a guide to the concepts and techniques in English language study. Each chapter: develops a particular topic through a series of practical tasks; provides points for further discussion; includes project work for use individually, or as part of a group; and contains a glossary of technical terms and suggestions for follow-up activities. By developing practical activities designed for the study of English language, this work goes way beyond pure linguistic description, and should be a useful aid for the beginner student of the English language. This book also contains a teacher's appendix which offers advice on the design and implementation of workshop activities on language.'A book that has long been needed, collecting together relatively recent linguistic ideas with the most useful of the older work and presenting them accessibly, without the assumption that the reader either has a sophisticated command of grammatical terms or that tutors will necessarily want to subscribe to either a formal or a functional approach to language studyThere is no doubt that this book will be a major contribution to the pool of textbooks upon which stylistics teaching can draw.' - Judy Delin, The Linguist
