- Title
ENGLISH FOR ART PURPOSES: INTERPRETING ART.
- Authors
CREŢIU, ANDA-ELENA
- Abstract
Although communication in the field of art may be mainly characterized as visual (since it is centered around image), it is nonetheless true that in this post-(post)modern era there must be some linguistic form of communication both amongst art specialists, on the one hand, and between them and the audiences/public, on the other. A number of genres have been devised for this purpose, with specific structures and specific discourse strategies. Probably the most important strategy refers to the linguistic (and extra linguistic) choices for interpreting art. Our concern is here with some aspects of the specific English language put to work for interpreting art and with how these aspects may be dealt with in classroom procedure.
