Sometimes people motivate you, sometimes they challenge you,
sometimes they inspire you, and sometimes they do all three at
once. Ruqaiya Hasan falls into the last category. It is impossible
to capture the huge impact that her work has had and will continue
to have on a wide range of people and areas of research. In this
volume, we attempt to show just a small snapshot of her impact on
the study of verbal art. On Verbal Art reflects on and celebrates
the contribution that Professor Ruqaiya Hasan made to research on
linguistic approaches to verbal art and includes contributions by
scholars from around the world. The volume gathers together
researchers with different perspectives, different views and
different approaches to verbal art and aims to provide an
inspiration to others to continue the work that Hasan began. One of
the lasting insights emerging from Hasan's work on verbal art is
the extent to which it informs analysis and theory. This volume
brings together chapters that offer a detailed account of Hasan's
contribution to the study of verbal art, chapters that pay tribute
to Hasan by adopting some of her central notions such as
foregrounding, symbolic articulation, theme and secondary semiosis
to inform their analyses, chapters that take Hasan's thinking as a
starting point to explore new methodological approaches for the
investigation of verbal art, and finally chapters by scholars who
are new to Hasanian thinking and afford fresh perspectives that
build bridges to related approaches. It is also hoped that this
volume will encourage new research and promote the reading or
re-reading of Hasan's tremendous work in this area. We look forward
to new challenges, arguments, extensions and applications.
