This edited book provides cutting edge contributions from an
international array of prominent experts who discuss the relevance
of pedagogical stylistics in relation to diverse contexts and
areas, including empirical approaches, corpus stylistics, creative
writing, literary-linguistic criticism, students as researchers,
critical discourse, academic register, text-world pedagogy,
cognitive stylistics, classroom discourse, language of literary
texts, L1/L2 education, EFL learners, and multimodal stylistics.
Intended as a follow-up to Watson and Zyngier (2007), this volume
situates the reader by offering a broad assessment of how the field
has developed during the past 15 years and where it stands now. By
examining both contemporary research and future challenges, it
should be regarded as essential reading for all teachers,
researchers, scholars, and students interested in understanding
language and how to apply stylistics in educational settings. This
book will be of interest to students and scholars working in
stylistics, cognitive linguistics, language teaching, applied
linguistics, literary studies, and materials development.
This fine collection of papers is the successful outcome of an
international research project carried out by advanced
undergraduate and graduate students from four different countries.
Exceptionally, the papers do not rehash old ideas or themes but
offer a fresh approach to a wide range of topics from language,
literature and culture. This innovative attitude is the result of
newly devised empirical methods of research, which clearly show
that these students are well on their way to becoming inventive and
resourceful researchers. The book connects three important themes
and acts upon them. First, it provides empirical studies of
literary texts and experiences, once again proving the value of
empirical studies of literature. It thereby nicely forecasts the
future of literary studies. Secondly, it highlights the connections
between research groups in different continents, showing the
strength of international collaborations. It thereby nicely
forecasts the future of intercultural research. Thirdly, it
presents work from students, illustrating upcoming talent. It
thereby nicely forecasts the future of academia.
