LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE: STYLISTIC APPROACHES TO NARRATIVE TEXTS The main goal of the course is to enable students to gain a general knowledge of the primary analytical features of narrative texts. Specifically, the course will begin with an introduction to the main tenets of literary stylistics. Extracts from novels and poetry will be presented and discussed with the students to assemble a toolkit for stylistic analysis. Specific attention will be paid to pragmatic and cognitive approaches.
