Linguists, stylisticians and literary critics, among other scholars, have in the past striven to demonstrate the interface between language and literature with insightful results. Some scholars have even gone a step further and attempted to show the overlap within language, literature and communication with the argument that there are methods of analysis that can be applied to all the three broad areas. This interdisciplinary approach has produced exciting results which have demonstrated that methods of analysis used in one discipline can be successfully used in the other disciplines as well.
It is with this interdisciplinary backdrop that the 2011 PALA Conference focuses on the interface between language and literature. The major aim is to explore and discuss contemporary perspectives relating to the interface between language and literature. Papers should address contemporary views – theoretical and/or practical – on the application of linguistic criticism to various forms of texts - spoken or written – in order to unravel the styles and meanings in these texts.
