This course will introduce methods for examining literary texts according to principles and issues that typically concern linguists. This type of examination will largely focus on the study of 'stylistics', a formalistic method of analysis of the style and diction of literary language. In addition, this course may introduce other methods of analysis, such as quantitative analysis methods, analysis of eye-dialect, or genre analysis. Finally, this course may also introduce literary works that address linguistic topics, such as language variation, language policy, and language learning.
