Overview
Fleischman brings together theory and methodology from various quarters to shed important new light on the linguistic structure of narrative, a primary and universal device for translating our experiences into language.Editorials
Booknews
Fleischmann (French and romance philology, U. of California) applies a linguistic model devised for conversational narrative to artificial literary narratives, principally from the middle ages and the postmodern period. He develops a functional theory of tense and aspect that accounts for their idiosyncratic use in terms of linguistic economy. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
