{"product_id":"9783110179507","title":"Allusions in the Press : An Applied Linguistic Study (2004. XIV, 297 S. 36 schw.-w. Tab.)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis corpus-based study of allusions in the British press shows the range of targets journalists allude to - from Shakespeare to TV soaps, from Jane Austen to Hillary Clinton, from hymns to nursery rhymes, proverbs and riddles. It analyzes the linguistic forms allusions take and demonstrates how allusions function meaningfully in discourse. It explores the nature of the background cultural and intertextual knowledge allusions demand of readers and sets out the processing stages involved in understanding an allusion. Allusion is integrated into existing theories of indirect language and linked to idioms, word-play and metaphor. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheories of indirect language comprehension \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevious work on allusion \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA newspaper corpus of allusions: Initial analysis (of quotations, titles, proverbs, formulaic text, names and naming phrases, set phrases) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe alluding and target units \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe comprehension of allusions \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe functions of allusion \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusion \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix: The national dailies: Social class and age of readers, average daily sales 1995 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList of primary texts \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReferences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePaul Lennon\u003c\/i\u003e teaches at the University of Bielefeld, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42564982374475,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":12122.13,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/0023\/7387\/files\/9783110179507-1.jpg?v=1783500643","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.co.th\/products\/9783110179507","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Thailand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
