Ghost Light: An Introductory Handbook for Dramaturgy offers useful and entertaining answers to the confounding questions: “What, exactly, is dramaturgy, and what does a dramaturg do?” According to Michael Mark Chemers, dramaturgs are the scientists of the theater world—their primary responsibility is to query the creative possibilities in every step of the production process, from play selection to costume design, and then research the various options and find ways to transform that knowledge into useful ideas.
This volume provides a broad analysis of the term 'discourse' and a thorough examination of the many theoretical assumptions surrounding it. A fully updated bibliography, new glossary and suggestions for further reading make this more than ever the essential introductory guide to the concept of discourse for students of literary theory.
This book is an introduction to a history of language. Addressing the topic in its broadest sense, its intention is to prepare someone, who is perhaps only generally familiar with foreign languages and language study, for professional linguistic tuition. In this sense, the present volume is a useful preliminary reading before commencing a university or college introductory linguistics course. No previous training in linguistics is needed to read this book. It requires no foreknowledge of special linguistic terminology or of particular linguistic methods.
Meaning in Interaction: An Introduction to Pragmatics
This volume is a comprehensive introductory text which discusses the development of pragmatics - its aims and methodology - and also introduces themes that are not generally covered in other texts. It is an ideal introductory textbook for students of linguistics and for all who are interested in analysing problems in communication. Jenny Thomas focuses on the dynamic nature of speaker meaning, considering the central roles of both speaker and hearer, and takes into account the social and psychological factors involved in the generation and interpretation of utterances.
