2. "Vladimir Benko", Looking for Slovakists

I am posting this for a colleague here in our English Department,
please address replies to him (Benjamin Franklin, N270068UNIVSCVM.CSD.SC.EDU)


I've recently noticed that in her early novels Anais Nin frequently uses
parenthetical expressions. I her later novels, she uses few such
expressions. I would like somehow to analyze her use of parentheticals
but do not know how to begin. Is there a theory of parenthetical
expressions? Does the central issue concern how dramatically a parenthetical
interrupts a sentence? I'd like to be able to categorize her parentheticals
and say that one such indicates maturity, for example, or immaturity, or
something. Might you help me.

Thanks,
Ben Franklin

framework of (West) Slavic studies, or carrying out related research.
We are also interested in occasional courses and all sorts of other
