This collection of original research highlights the legacy of
Michael Toolan's pioneering contributions to the field of
stylistics and in so doing provides a critical overview of the ways
in which language, text, and context are analyzed in the field and
its related disciplines. Featuring work from an international range
of contributors, the book illustrates how the field of stylistics
has evolved in the 25 years since the publication of Toolan's
seminal Language, Text and Context, which laid the foundation for
the analysis of the language and style in literary texts. The
volume demonstrates how technological innovations and the
development of new interdisciplinary methodologies, including those
from corpus, cognitive, and multimodal stylistics, point to the
greater degree of interplay between language, text, and context
exemplified in current research and how this dynamic relationship
can be understood by featuring examples from a variety of texts and
media. Underscoring the significance of Michael Toolan's extensive
work in the field in the evolution of literary linguistic research,
this volume is key reading for students and researchers in
stylistics, discourse studies, corpus linguistics, and
interdisciplinary literary studies.

Despite its importance for language and cognition, the theoretical
concept of "pattern" has received little attention in linguistics
so far. The articles in this volume demonstrate the
multifariousness of linguistic patterns in lexicology, corpus
linguistics, sociolinguistics, text linguistics, pragmatics,
construction grammar, phonology and language acquisition and
develop new perspectives on "pattern" as a linguistic concept.
This volume looks at the concept of the declarative city from an
interdisciplinary perspective, comprising literary and linguistic
studies, arts and art history, discourse analysis, as well as urban
planning. The various contributions demonstrate the semiotic
complexity and inconsistency of declarative and discursive
practices in different social, cultural, aesthetic, and historical
contexts.
