Language and Gender in the Fairy Tale Tradition: A Linguistic Analysis of Old and New Story-telling
Alessandra Levorato Manufacturer: Palgrave Macmillan ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1403907889 |
Book Description
Much research has been done on the social messages conveyed to children reading or listening to fairy tales. In this highly original study, the emphasis shifts from content to linguistic expression. The language and linguistic organization of a dozen versions, old and new, of the Little Red Riding Hood story are analyzed using a variety of theoretical approaches, including Critical Discourse Analysis, Conversational Analysis, Functional Grammar and Critical Stylistics, to uncover the contribution of fairy tales to the discourse of gender relations over time.Customer Reviews:

Fairy Tales, Linguistics, and Feminism.......2004-07-08
Now Alessandro Levorato has published a more scholarly study of the famous fairy tale in 12 versions published over the past 300 years. She takes the seldom used linguistics approach to studying the tale, breaking down each tale into word choices and meanings, as well as other nuances of grammar and language usage. This is not easy reading, but it is meaningful. Levorato's study is divided into six main sections with a final section summarizing the conclusions drawn from the entire study. The texts of the twelve versions show how society has changed, especially concerning gender issues. The book is recommended for anyone interested in any of the primary subjects of fairy tales, linguistics, or gender issues in literature. It should be made available in any reputable university library, too.
For anyone wondering which versions of the tale are analyzed, here is a list of the authors and titles:
1. Oral version: 'The Story of Grandmother' (l5th-l6th c., French)
2. J. Perrault: 'Little Red Riding Hood' (1697, French)
3. Brothers Grimm: 'Little Red Cap' (1812, German)
4. Sabine Baring Gould: 'Little Red Riding Hood' (1895, British)
5. James Thurber: 'The Little Girl and the Wolf' (1939, American)
6. Catherine Storr: 'Little Polly Riding Hood' (1955, British)
7. Merseyside Fairy Story Collective: 'Red Riding Hood' (1972, British)
8. O.F. Gmelin: 'Little Red Cap' (1978, German)
9. Angela Carter: 'The Werewolf' (1979, British)
10. Angela Carter: 'The Company of Wolves' (1979, British)
11. Chiang Mi: 'Goldflower and the Bear' (1979, Chinese)

David Beckham: Made In Manchester. An Unofficial Photographic Record
Eamonn Clarke , and James Clarke Manufacturer: Dewi Lewis Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0954684303 |
Book Description
This extraordinary book charts David Beckham's rise to celebrity during his years in Manchester.
At the age of 3 David Beckham's parents gave him a Manchester United shirt as a Christmas present, beginning a relationship with the club that was to last a quarter of a century. He signed schoolboy terms in May 1988, eventually joining United as a trainee in July 1991 and moving up to Manchester to begin what was to become an extraordinary story.
From relatively early days, right up to his departure for Real Madrid, Eamonn and James Clarke, the Manchester paparrazi, have recorded his unofficial story-even before he came to prominence as a player and well before his meteoric rise to iconic status.
They were there when he was a young player finding his feet at the club, there to see him out and about with girlfriends or team colleagues, there when "Posh Spice" arrived on the scene, and there to see him becoming a proud father and family man.
And they were the first to photograph him, with the cut above his eye, walking in Manchester after the boot-kicking incident with Sir Alex Ferguson, when it began to dawn on everyone that David Beckham's time at Manchester United was almost over.
In an introductory text, and through extended captions, Eamonn and James Clarke describe their work and encounters with David Beckham. The two brothers have worked as the Manchester paparrazi for the last 10 years. Their images appear regularly on the front pages of the press in the UK as well as internationally in magazines.

Fundamentals Superbly Communicated.......2000-11-26
* Better Business Writing
* Pithy Presentations
* Lively Listening
* Meaningful Meetings
* Publishable Prose
What she calls "Rules" are actually guidelines. As I read this book, I was reminded of so much of what I learned while reading the fiction and non-fiction of E.B. White. He and Wilkie seem to be in almost total agreement on how to think clearly as well as to write effectively. What gives this little book special value is its direct relevance to so many different business applications. If you are having problems with both oral and written communications, if you wish to have your "messages" be understood and (better yet) have greater impact, read and then re-read this book. It would also be an excellent holiday or birthday gift for school, college, and university students. Just a thought....
