Abstract
This chapter explores MacNeice's appropriation of everyday language in his poetry through his own criticism and subsequent theoretical articulations of the problems of such language. It features detailed commentary on poems from the early 1940s, such as 'Conversation', 'Plain Speaking' and 'The Mixer'.
