Can Stylistic Analysis Help the EFL Learner to Read Literature?
Gower, Roger
ELT Journal, v40 n2 p125-30 Apr 1986
Discusses whether the methods of linguistic analysis can help students of English as a second language (ESL) as they struggle with a complex piece of creative writing. Argues that stylistic analysis, instead of aiding an ESL student's reading, actually impedes it because it is alien to the spirit in which persons read. (SED)
