Exploring the Language of Drama introduces students to the stylistic analysis of drama. Written in an engaging and accessible style, the contributors use techniques of language analysis, particularly from discourse analysis, cognitive linguistics and pragmatics, to explore the language of plays. The contributors demonstrate the validity of analysing the text of a play, as opposed to focusing on performance. Divided into four broad, yet interconnecting groups, the chapters: open up some of the basic mechanisms of conversation and show how they are used in dramatic dialogue look at how discourse analysis and pragmatic theories can be used to help us understand characterization in dialogue consider some of the cognitive patterns underlying dramatic discourse focus on the notion of speech as action there is also a chapter on how to analyse an extract from a play and write up an assignment

Medieval English Drama provides a fresh introduction to the dramatic and festive practices of England in the late Middle Ages. The book places particular emphasis on the importance of the performance contexts of these events, bringing to life a period before permanent theatre buildings when performances took place in a wide variety of locations and had to fight to attract and maintain the attention of an audience. Showing the interplay between dramatic and everyday life, the book covers performances in convents, churches, parishes, street processions and parades, and in particular distinguishes between modes of outdoor and indoor performance. Katie Normington aids the reader to a fuller understanding of these early English dramatic practices by explaining the significance of the place of performance, the particularities of spectatorship for each event and how the conventions of the form of drama were manipulated to address its reception. Audiences considered range from cloistered members, congregations and parish members to urban citizens, nobles and royalty. Undergraduate students of literature of this period will find this an approachable and illuminating guide.

"This book explains why drama works as an enjoyable, social, and emotionally engaged way for children, young people and adults to learn languages, as well as showing how it provides motivating contexts and structures for acquiring and using real language in imagined worlds. The authors present 20 practical, adaptable strategies, based on research and accompanied by exemplar lessons, each designed to engage learners and stimulate purposeful talk within meaningful contexts. Process Drama emotionally engages learners and stimulates purposeful talk, within meaningful contexts. The authors refer to relevant educational, psychological and neurological theories and cite research that helps account for drama's efficacy in motivating talk and supporting first and second language acquisition and the development of important life skills such as communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity and resilience. They provide a flexible teachers' toolbox of pedagogical drama strategies. Each strategy is explained in detail and linked to a series of step-by-step, detailed, high quality, exemplar lessons, which may be adapted and used flexibly for different purposes and contexts."--
