The Discourse of Italian Cinema and Beyond cover

Linguistic investigation of the dialogue of Italian cinema, using concepts and methodologies from pragmatics, conversation analysis and discourse analysis.

The Discourse of Italian Cinema and Beyond joins a growing body of work that is taking forward work in stylistics by expanding not only the subject of analysis, from poetry and prose fiction to film and television, but also the set of methods in acknowledging the visual alongside the verbal. While Piazza herself is modest in speculating how her investigation might contribute to the study of film within media and culturalstudies, this truly interdisciplinary work is a clear contribution to both stylistics and film studies. Piazza’s analyses are grounded equally well in linguistics and film theory, and this book stands as a relevant contribution to our knowledge of both discourse and the cinema. -- Susan Mandala, Department of Culture, University of Sunderland, UK * Discourse & Communication *
