Abstract

The authors argue that the literary text, which has tended to be neglected in the language classroom largely as a result of adherence to structuralist guidelines, offers rich grounds for use in a university language course. The authors discuss different approaches to using a literary text, in this case The Chinese Lobster by A.S.Byatt, including lexical and discourse analysis, both of which need to be viewed through the prism of culture in order to help deal with problems of interculturality that inevitably arise in the language classroom.
