SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
A thorough introduction to the language of surrealism by a leading authority in the field. The author draws on recent work in cognitive poetics and literary linguistics to re-evaluate surrealism in its own historical setting, analysing textual examples and situating them within a framework of the latest theories and stylistic methods.
