Mick Short (Lancaster University) was invited by Manuel Jobert as part of the tenth edition of the ((Discourse Analysis Conferences)), organised by the Société de Stylistique Anglaise and Lyon 3. After giving some precious advice to students in stylistics and explaining the "foregrounding theory", he analysed a number of texts including the front page of a British tabloid, a poem by Robert Frost and a passage from Colum McCann’s ((Let the Great World Spin)).
