With chapters focused on different approaches based in language theory, the book analyses language change in \u003ci\u003eCoriolanus\u003c\/i\u003e; discourse analysis in \u003ci\u003eTroilus and Cressida\u003c\/i\u003e; pragmatics in \u003ci\u003eRichard II\u003c\/i\u003e; and various aspects of grammar in \u003ci\u003eAs You Like It\u003c\/i\u003e. In mapping the tools of linguistics and language theory onto the study of literature, and employing finely-grained close readings of dialogue, \u003ci\u003eShakespeare’s Common Language\u003c\/i\u003e frames a methodology that offers a fresh approach to reading dramatic language.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54226659836248,"sku":"9781350235977","price":40.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781350235977_f8ea7f60-ff4d-4bea-aa5f-7e629ddda80f.jpg?v=1743832852","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/shakespeare-s-common-language","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
