     Joanna Thornborrow and Shan Wareing, PATTERNS IN LANGUAGE
     An Introduction to Language and Literary Style
     Patterns in Language addresses the real needs of students who may not
     have an extensive background either in traditional literature or in
     linguistic theory. This student-friendly textbook uses the principles
     of linguistic analysis to investigate the aesthetic use of language in
     literary (and non-literary) texts. Written in straightforward,
     accessible language with imaginative examples and a humorous tone, it
     shows how linguistic knowledge can enhance and enrich the analysis of
     texts. The authors borrow from traditional stylistics, but focus
     primarily on the recurring linguistic patterns which are used by
     writers of poetry, fiction and drama. The authors draw on a wide
     variety of textual sources to illustrate their observations, making
     reference to both canonical literature and modern literary texts, as
     well as to popular fiction, television and the language of
     advertising. Exercises designed to develop the students' understanding
     of the material  are provided at every stage, and sample answers are
     also included.

     Jonathan Culpepper, Peter Verdonk, and Mick Short, eds., EXPLORING THE
     LANGUAGE OF DRAMA
     From Text to Context
     Focusing on the characterization of speech as a form of action,
     Exploring the Language of Drama introduces students to the stylistic
     analysis of drama. Here, some of the world's leading scholars
     demonstrate the importance of analyzing the text of drama rather than
     focusing on performance, presenting their approaches in an engaging
     and accessible style. The essays employ techniques from language
     analysis (specifically discourse analysis, cognitive linguistics and
     pragmatic) to explore the language of plays, looking at how different
     theories and approaches can be used to help us understand
     characterization in dialogue, the cognitive patterns that support the
     narrative and discourse of drama, and the basic mechanisms of
     conversation in dramatic dialogue. Each chapter ends in a summary with
     follow-up exercises, and offers practical advice on how to analyze a
     play extract and write it up as an assignment.
