Parody style (46 resultados)

Paperback. Condición: Fair. The truth about English is that it can get pretty boring. Dangling modifiers, gerunds, punctuation marks--it's enough to make you want to drop out of high school. Swearing and sex on the other hand, well, these time-honored pastimes warm the cockles of our hearts. Now, The Elements of F*cking Style drags English grammar out of the ivory tower and into the gutter, injecting a dull subject with a much-needed dose of color. This book addresses everything from common questions ("What the hell is a pronoun?") to philosophical conundrums ("Does not using paragraphs or periods make my thesis read like it was written by a mental patient?"). Other valuable sections include: *All I've got in this world are my sentences and my balls, and I don't break 'em for nobody *A colon is more than an organ that gets cancer *Words your bound to f*ck up One glance at your friend's blog should tell you everything you need to know about the sorry state of the English language. This book gives you the tools you need to stop looking like an idiot on message boards and in interoffice memos. Grammar has never before been so much f*cking fun. …

paperback. Condición: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Condición: New. Idioma/Language: Inglés. Encuadernación: rústica. ``The Da Vinci Code'' by Dan Brown is astonishingly popular nowadays, and its commercial success cannot be explained away by stating that it was the result of a cleverly organized advertising campaign. There must be some features of plot and style in the novel that endear it to so many readers and which cause the disgust of quite a number of others. Some of these thematic and stylistic features of ``The Da Vinci Code'' are only too obvious, while other peculiarities of it are not that apparent. A. A. Lipgart believes that to arrive at a more adequate assessment of the novel, its advantages and rawbacks alike, it might be of interest to compare it with the texts of some parodies of it. This is precisely the task he tries to cope with in the present book. The book is meant for professional philologists, for students of stylistics and all those who are one way or another interested in methods of analyzing artistic texts. V nashi dni «Kod Da Vinchi» Dena Brauna pol'zuetsya ogromnoj populyarnost'yu, i kommercheskij uspekh romana ne yavlyaetsya lish' rezul'tatom professional'no organizovannoj reklamnoj kampanii. V romane nalichestvuyut opredelennie soderzhatel'nie i stilisticheskie kharakteristiki, libo vosprinimaemie chitatelem s odobreniem, libo vizivayuschie u nego ottorzhenie. Nekotorie iz etikh kharakteristik vpolne ochevidni, togda kak drugie pri pervom chtenii ne obraschayut na sebya vnimaniya. Po mneniyu avtora, dlya bolee adekvatnoj otsenki dannogo romana Dena Brauna -- kak ego dostoinstv, tak i nedostatkov --- nebezinteresno sopostavit' ego s tekstami nekotorikh parodij. Imenno takuyu zadachu stavit pered soboj avtor nastoyaschej raboti. Kniga prednaznachena kak dlya spetsialistov v oblasti stilistiki, tak i dlya nachinayuschikh filologov, a takzhe dlya vsekh tekh, kogo interesuet vopros o metodakh issledovaniya khudozhestvennikh tekstov. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
