Description

Exploring the Language of Drama introduces students to the stylistic analysis of dramatic works through accessible, engaging scholarship. Published by Routledge, this resource employs techniques from discourse analysis, cognitive linguistics and pragmatics to examine how playwrights construct meaning through language. Rather than focusing solely on performance aspects, the contributors demonstrate the validity and richness of analysing play texts themselves. The book is organised into four interconnecting sections that systematically explore dramatic language: from the fundamental mechanisms of conversation as they appear in dramatic dialogue, to broader discourse patterns that shape theatrical communication. This approach equips students with practical analytical tools for understanding how dramatists use language to create character, develop conflict and engage audiences. Ideal for literature students, drama scholars and anyone seeking deeper insight into the craft of playwriting, this book bridges the gap between textual analysis and dramatic interpretation.

Key Features

Exploring the Language of Drama uses discourse analysis, cognitive linguistics and pragmatics to examine how playwrights construct meaning through language.

The book demonstrates that analysing play texts directly provides valid insights, moving beyond performance-focused approaches to drama study.

Four interconnecting sections guide readers through conversation mechanisms in dramatic dialogue and broader discourse patterns in theatrical communication.

Routledge's accessible writing style makes advanced linguistic concepts accessible to students new to stylistic analysis of drama.

Contributors show practical techniques for understanding how dramatists use language to create character, conflict and audience engagement.
