Stylistics is the linguistic study of style in language. It aims to
account for how texts project meaning, how readers construct
meaning and why readers respond to texts in the way that they do.
This book is an introduction to stylistics that locates it firmly
within the traditions of linguistics. Organised to reflect the
historical development of stylistics from its origins in Russian
formalism, the book covers key principles such as foregrounding
theory, as well as more recent developments in cognitive
stylistics. It includes an examination of both literary and
non-literary texts, and substantial coverage of methodologies for
stylistic analysis. Throughout the book, the emphasis is on the
practicalities of producing stylistic analyses that are objective,
replicable and falsifiable. Comprehensive in its coverage and
assuming no prior knowledge of the topic, Stylistics will be
essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students new to
this fascinating area of language study.
