Abstract(s)

My analysis of Barthelme's narrative "Views of My Father Weeping" applies loosely a Faircloughian (1992) multidimensional concept of discourse: (i) text-dimension (= the Hallidayan systemic-functional description of the formal properties of the present narrative); (ii) the analysis of text production and interpretation, that is, of discursive practice (which here consists of the reader and her socially constructed genre expectations) and thirdly, (iii) the more general, ideological context of social practice of the reading community are complemented by intertextual analysis.
