The Analysis of the Speech Event in Stylistic Study

Kress-Rosen, Nicolle

Style, 8, 1, 46-55, Win 74

The concepts of distance, modalization, comprehensibility, and tension, as used for discourse analysis, can be applied to the analysis of speech events in literary texts. Such a linguistic approach may lead to new insights for the psychological description of authors and/or literary characters.
