Abstract:

Over the last two decades, the study of discourse in film and television has
become one of the most promising research avenues in stylistics and pragmatics
due to the dazzling variety of source material and the huge pragmatic range
within it. Meanwhile, with the advent of streaming and the box set, film and
television themselves are becoming separated by an increasingly blurred line.

This volume closes a long-standing gap in stylistics research, bringing
together a book-level pragmastylistic showcase. It presents current
developments from the field from two complementary perspectives, looking
stylistically at the discourse in film and the discourse of and around film.
This latter phrase comes to mean the approaches which try to account for the
pragmatic effects induced by cinematography. This might be the camera work or
the lighting, or the mise en scène or montage. The volume takes a multimodal
approach, looking at word, movement and gesture, in keeping with modern
stylistics.

The volume shows how pragmatic themes and methods are adapted and applied to
films, including speech acts, (im)politeness, implicature and context. In this
way, it provides systematic insights into how meanings are displayed,
enhanced, suppressed and negotiated in both film and televisual arts.
