Hi everyone.
 
Many months ago I posted a query about using the techniques of
discourse analyis to look at dialogue in fictional drama. Here is a
summary of the references which were very kindly sent to me. Many
thanks to all who helped.
 
1992, Barbara Stanley Ferrin: Dramatic Dialogue as Conversation: From
the Page to the Stage. DPhil, University of Ulster Library, Coleraine
Campus, N.Ireland.
 
Two pieces by Michael Toolan applying CA and Grice to dialogue in
*fiction* (one in Language and Communication, 1985; another in a
collection on style edited by D. Birch and L.M. O'Toole)
 
Geoffrey Leech, on Shaw, in a collection entitled Language, Text and
Context.
 
Michael Toolan, on DA (specifically, a version of speech act
categorization) applied to drama (forthcoming) in a collection on
stylistic approaches to drama edited by P.Verdonk; the piece is on C.
Churchill's Cloud Nine.
 
The journal *Language and Literature* (Longman, London), which has
several pragmatics-oriented pieces on various plays.
