References and filmography \ Index -- 330 8 $aRoberta Piazza's book is a linguistic investigation of the dialogue of Italian cinema covering a selection of films from the 1950s to the present day. It looks at how speech is dealt with in studies of the cinema and tackles the lack of engagement with dialogue in film studies. It explores the representation of discourse in cinema --  the way particular manifestations of verbal interaction are reproduced in film. Whereas 'representation' generally refers to the language used in texts to assign meaning to a group and its social practices, here discourse representation more directly refers to the relationship between real-life and cinematic discourse. Piazza analyses how fictional dialogue reinterprets authentic interaction in order to construe particular meanings. Beginning by exploring the relationship between discourse and genre, the second half of the book takes a topic-based approach and reflects on the themes of narrative and identity. The analysis carried out takes on board the multi-semiotic and multimodal components of film discourse. The book uses also uses concepts and methodologies from pragmatics, conversation analysis and discourse analysis. 410 0$aAdvances in stylistics. 606 $aMotion picture plays, Italian$xHistory and criticism 606 $2Films, cinema 606 $aMotion pictures$zItaly 615 0$aMotion picture plays, Italian$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMotion pictures 676 $a791.430945 700 $aPiazza$b Roberta$0467444 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459628403321 996 $aThe discourse of Italian cinema and beyond$92471374 997 $aUNINA
