Abstract:

This book provides an overview of the dialectic of theory and practice through
which SFL positions itself as an appliable linguistics with reference to the
theory of Verbal Art. A concise history of the linguistic study of literature
tout court is sketched, as well as the roots of specifically SFL approaches to
it. A detailed theoretical description is given of the emergence of systemic
functional stylistics and, in particular, of the overall architecture of
Systemic Socio-Semantic Stylistics (SSS), the central descriptive-analytical
model created by Ruqaiya Hasan. Subsequently, the correspondences between
Hasan’s framework and what Jakobson theorized as the empirical linguistic
evidence of his ‘poetic function’, grammatical parallelism, and with what he
calls ‘pervasive parallelism’, are delineated and illustrated via the analysis
of one poem by D.H. Lawrence, ‘Bei Hennef’ (1913). Further, the teaching of
the language in literature with the tools of SFL/SSS is addressed, and a case
study of the experience of guiding students towards this ‘special’ register
awareness in an undergraduate EFL curriculum in Bologna, Italy is offered.

Aiming to provide as wide-ranging a view of systemic functional stylistics
studies as possible, the volume also presents a synopsis of stylistics
research wedded to multimodal/multisemiotic, corpus and translation
approaches, broaching certain of the many theoretical issues intrinsically
entailed. With special attention to Hasan’s stylistic legacy, in closing the
author speaks to the future directions systemic functional stylistic studies
might take.
