Abstract:

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.
