Recenzje

Some essays may appeal to scholars across discipline; among these are Isidora Stojanovic's "Derogatory Terms in Free Indirect Discourse" (chapter 14), which discusses the "complicity" effect of slurs and mixed-quotation and two-context approaches for understanding this phenomenon in specifically literary texts. But most essays are principally interested in exploring theoretical paradigms of fictional discourse through the idiom and methodologies of linguistics and philosophy of language. This collection will find its readers among advanced scholars in those fields.
