Produktbeschreibung

In "The Fictions of Language and the Languages of Fiction," Monika Fludernik presents a detailed analysis of free indirect discourse as it relates to narrative theory and the crucial problematic of how speech and thought are represented in fiction. Building on the insights of Ann Banfield's "Unspeakable Sentences," Fludernik radically extends Banfield's model to accommodate evidence from conversational narrative, non-fictional prose, and literary works from Chaucer to the present. Fludernik's model subsumes earlier insights into the forms and functions of quotation and aligns them with discourse strategies observable in the oral language. She introduces English readers to extensive work on the subject in German and compares the free indirect discourse features of English, French and German. This study effectively repositions the whole area between literature and linguistics, opening up questions in narrative theory.
