Shakespeare's Universe of Discourse: Language-Games in the Comedies
Keir Elam
This book makes ample use of approaches to language within linguistics, semiotics, the philosophy of language and sociology, in order to do justice to the subtlety of Shakespeare's verbal artistry. The author shows that in Shakespearean comedy language is always a dynamic, active protagonist of the drama.
