- carnivalesque - forms of unofficial culture that resist official culture, political oppression, and tolalitarian order through laughter, parody, and "grotesque realism"
- chronotope - the intrinsic connectedness of time and space and their central role in constituting literary genres
- dialogism of language - the "intense interanimation and struggle between one's own and another's word"
Living language exhibits heteroglossia (described the "internal stratification" of language: the interplay among its social dialects, class dialects, professional jargons, languages of generations and age groups and of passing fads)
It celebrates the multiplicity of all those "centrifugal" forces at work in language, the variety of social speech types and the diversity of voices interacting with one another.
Treatment of the novel was limited to little more than abstract ideological examination and publicistic commentary.
Sept. 13, 2005: Maybe I would like all of this a whole lot better if I could figure out how to apply it to make me a better writer.
