What will we learn in Session B?
General
This topic introduces you to words (session A) and phrases (session B)
in English, the basic building blocks of English grammar, and how writers
can manipulate these language levels in order to create special meanings
and effects.
If you follow the ordering on the session menus, in each session you
will first do some work to uncover some of your intuitions about words
or phrases and then we will explore the word or phrase level in more detail.
After that, we will move on to discuss examples and texts where writers
manipulate the level concerned, either by using some kind of word or phrase
more often than we would normally expect or by deviating from our normal
expectations in some other way.
Session B
After examining the basic structural aspects of English noun phrases
we will look at how this level of grammar can be manipulated for special
effects in poetry.
