| Abstract | "This book examines the use of colour terms in the poetry of Dylan Thomas, adopting a linguistic and stylistic - rather than literary - approach. Although critical studies of the poetry of Dylan Thomas abound, linguistic analyses of his poems are rare. The authors investigate in detail Thomas' use of colour terms and their connotative symbolic meanings, which form the basis for what have been called colour metaphors. The study is also a rich database which will be of use to researchers interested in the use of colour terms in other texts, whether literary or non-literary. This book will be of interest primarily to academics and advanced students in the field of linguistic stylistics." -- Provided by publisher. |
