Topic 9 (session A) - Speech Presentation > Varieties of speech presentation in the novel

Varieties of speech presentation in the novel

In the 'What happens when speech is presented' topic we explored the various ways in which speech could be presented in terms of the categories available to writers to present speech. In this topic we are going to explore some extracts from novels.

In each case, you need:

1. To identify the category of speech presentation used and
2. Work out why the writer has chosen the mode of presentation involved (i.e. what effect does it have?).

For your convenience, we have included a link to the speech presentation scale which we explored in Task C of the 'What happens when speech is presented' topic so that you can refer to it easily if you want. You will find it under the useful links section of the menu.
