Mr. Veronico N. Tarrayo, MA, faculty member of the Department of English and a PhD major in English student at the Graduate School, presented a research paper entitled 鈥溾�楥apturing the Language of Flash Fiction: A Stylistic Analysis of G茅mino H. Abad鈥檚 鈥淏ettina鈥欌�� during the February 9-11, 2017 International Conference on Applied Lingustics and Language Education, held at De La Salle University.
Tarrayo鈥檚 paper recognized the gradual popularization of flash fiction as a literary genre, which, despite its rising prominence, has not been extensively explored in literary studies. Tarrayo鈥檚 paper used Leech and Short鈥檚 (2007) schema and attempted to decipher the language code of the said text in terms of the following features: lexical categories, grammatical categories, figures of speech, and context and cohesion. The analyzed piece was Gemino H. Abad鈥檚 鈥淏ettina.鈥�
Tarrayo serves as a member of the editorial board of the Asian Journal of English Language Studies, the official research journal of the Department of English.
