Format:Paperback
A useful and accessible book for language students. Fairly simply written and easy to follow. Well laid out with each chapter building on the last.

Format:Paperback
Although Mick Short is sometimes prone to stating the obvious (did we really need an illustration of two chairs to illustrate deixis? I think most people know the difference between 'that' chair and 'this' chair depends upon where they are..) this is otherwise an excellent book about stylistic analysis, with useful exercises, and checklists to help with carrying out one's own analyses.

Format:Paperback
Mick Short produces a fantastic book, ensuring to keep in mind, the reader unfamiliar with academic jargon. Exploring the Language of Poems and Prose is apt at detailing all a novice needs to know about the subject, indeed, it also makes for a handy referrence guide for those already familiar with this strand of linguistics.
