Bilgewater: Foregrounded features
We have already noticed in the work we have done on lexis in Bilgewater
that some words (e.g. cold) are foregrounded by repetition and semantic
deviation.
In this section we will do a bit more work on foregrounded features,
starting with parallelism and then moving on to deviation. This will help
us to see that the foregrounding devices, and their effects, which we
introduced in relation to poetry, are also applicable to other literary
genres. We will give the sentence numbers in each case, so that you can
easily identify the sentence's context if you need to.
As before you will find the link to the passage
under the 'useful links' section of the left hand menu.
