xiii, 317 p. : ill. ; 23 cm. "As you enter this book you will find all kinds of texts: some are usually called 'literary' and some are not. This mixture is essential to our method. We do not want to offer you a collection of 'master' works that ask for your passive submission, but a set of texts that you can work and play with, increasing your own understanding of fundamental textual processes and your own ability to use the written word. We hope to help you feel more at home in the house of language, and we are confident that a better command of written language will contribute to a better life." -- from the authors' "Letter to the Student" in Text Book. Texts and people: story and story teller; character and confrontation. -- Texts, thoughts, and things: linguistic basis of metaphor; metaphor in three poems; metaphor and dream; surrealist metaphor; poetic uses of metaphor; metaphor as a basis for thought; metapohorical concepts; arguing with metaphor: analogy and parable; metaphor and metonymy: advertising. -- Texts and other texts: intertextuality; transforming texts; transformation; completing text: the reader's work; interpreting texts. -- Experiments with texts: fragments and signatures: the fragment; references for fragments of a student's discourse; signature; writing from signatures; signing (the proper name).
