- This monograph offers an extended creative investigation of the centrality of discourse deixis to metafictional novels. Macrae interrogates linguistic and cognitive poetic theoretical work on deixis in order to establish a newly coherent theoretical account of discourse deixis. The book rigorously analyses theories of metafiction to present substantive new insights into three metafictional techniques. Demonstrating how discourse deixis is fundamental to the workings of these techniques, the book offers significant a theoretical advancement. Proceeding through analysis of case studies, the book considerably advances scholarship on six well-established and lesser-known postmodern metafictional texts.
