By doing so, he introduced an expectation into the discourse that someone does, in fact, think it is a joke. This book explores how it is that saying what is not the case communicates something about what is. Bringing together a focus on text with cognitive and pragmatic approaches, a case is made for an application of linguistic negation as a tool of analysis. This tool is used to explore the ideological implications of projecting or reflecting readerly expectations. This book contributes to the growing field of Critical stylistics and aims to add to the range of stylistic insights which anchor the analysis of discourse to a consideration of the nuances of language choice"--Provided by publisher.Linguistic Approaches to Literature Discourse analysis, LiteraryGrammar, Comparative and generalNegativesNegation (Logic)Literary styleEssays.lcgftDiscourse analysis, Literary.Grammar, Comparative and generalNegatives.Negation (Logic)Literary style.401.4Nahajec Lisa1636819MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822570903321Negation, expectation and ideology in written texts3978269UNINA
