Linguistics and the Analysis of Poetry Thesis- Something like: Linguistic methods, both formal and informal, can help elucidate poetry for the average person, while still allowing them a license for
artistic interpretation.
Basically, we’re using linguistic methods for analyzing Poetry (Melton’s Epic poem Paradise Lost). I have specific sources and a reference list I want to be used when citing the linguistic methods used for analysis of the epic poem Paradise Lost. Language and literature would seem to be related, but a review of the literature on language learning finds them often worlds apart. Since 1945, literature and especially poetry have been excluded from most language learning programmes, largely because of an emphasis on the study, rather than the reading, of literature (Gilroy-Scott, 1983).
