Abstract:

Stylistics: Arabic and English Rhetorical and Linguistic Analysis is a
methodologically consistent book on linguistic stylistics and is an academic
must have. Stylistic analysis is empirical and forensic. The book addresses an
academic and market need for a book on stylistics that combines three
different languages, accounts for 11 different genres, and investigates modern
and classical literary and non-literary texts. The book explores modern and
classical genres of Arabic, English, and Qur'anic Arabic and provides a
valuable academic resource for Arabic studies, English studies,
Islamic/Qur'anic studies, and contrastive linguistics. The book offers over
1000 examples for an exhaustive analysis of the figures of speech and the
grammatical, semantic, and morphological features that have occurred in each
text (genre). It offers an insight into the theoretical aspects of stylistics,
style, and text. It is an account of the rhetorical (literary) and linguistic
features of the three different languages. It provides an in-depth analysis of
text typology and gives a detailed definition, the distinctive
characteristics, and purpose of each genre.

Hussein Abdul-Raof (formerly University of Leeds) is a Professor of
Linguistics and Translation Studies, Department of Languages and Translation,
Taibah University, Saudi Arabia.
