This essay will first provide an analysis of a text, “World of Cooking” Boeuf Borgingnonne” (see suplementary materials) by focusing on the the theory and methods of the Russian Formalists. I will then provide a brief critical discussion of the analysis and theory used. To begin analysis I will look first at the device of linguistic sound “The Formalists started out by seeing the literary work as a more or less arbitrary assemblage of “devices”...“Devices” included sound, imagery , rhythm, syntax
