A short time ago, I posted a request for potential textbooks to be
used in an undergraduate course on Linguistics and Literature (in an
English department).  I'd like to thank the following people for their
suggestions:
 
David Wharton
Jo Rubba
Chad D. Nilep
Clai Rice
Mick Short
 
 
Here are the references:
 
Elizabeth Closs Traugott & Mary L. Pratt (1980), 'Linguistics
	for Students of Literature' (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich).
Geoffrey N. Leech & Michael H. Short (1981), 'Style in Fiction'
(Longman).
Roger Fowler (1986), 'Linguistic Criticism' (Oxford).
Ronald Carter & Walter Nash (1990), 'Seeing through language'
(Blackwell).

   'Language as Discourse' (Longman, ISBN 0-582-084245 PPR).
   'The dialect of the tribe' (about the use of dialect in Joyce,
	   James, Beckett, etc.).
   'Dialects and Education' by Walt Wolfram and Donna Christian.
 
George Lakoff & Mark Johnson, _Metaphors We Live By_ (Chicago 1980).
Lakoff & Mark Turner, _More Than Cool Reason_ (Chicago 1989).
Jakobson's _Language in Literature_.
Don Freeman's _Linguistics and Literary Style_ (1970).
 
Also, Mick Short passed along the following information:
 
   I have a new book coming out with Longman (now part of Addison Wesley
   Longman) in the next 2-3 weeks. I received an advanced copy about a
   fortnight ago. It is called Exploring the Language of Poems, Plays and
   Prose, and is aimed at first year students of English/English
   Language/Linguistics interested in Lang and Lit. It has developed from
   the first year course i have been teaching in Lancaster for some
   years, and I used a photocopied version on the course this year. My
   students have been very positive about it (but then I suppose they
   would, in my hearing at least!).
 
Contact Mick directly for more information (m.short at lancs.ac.uk).
 
 
Thanks again to all those who responded,
 
Rich Epstein
