This volume investigates to what extent existing approaches to
pragmatics and discourse shed light on how the form of a text
creates stylistic effects. Taking a cross-cultural perspective,
this book focuses on five key stylistic features of writing -
paragraph structure, length and construction of sentences,
organisation of information in sentences, relative formality of
vocabulary, amount of nominalisation - widely seen as partly
responsible for the different impressions created by academic
writing in English and Italian. The author develops a theoretical
framework for the investigation of intuitions about stylistic
differences from a contrastive point of view. To this end, the book
gives an overview of recent scholarly approaches to writing and
reading, genre studies, contrastive rhetoric and the notions of
style and stylistics, together with an assessment of several
individual approaches.
