Abstract:

Carry out basic stylistic analyses of different text types using a range of
stylistic frameworks

- Includes 25 do-it-yourself boxes containing tasks for use in the classroom
or at home

- Includes recommendations for further reading, a glossary and answer key

- Provides a methodological toolkit to enable students to develop the skills
and confidence to carry out independent analysis

- Offers a reader-friendly account of the story of stylistics from its early
days to present-day developments

- Draws on texts including Wants by Phillip Larkin, Indian Women by Shiv K.
Kumar, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen by Paul Torday, The Handmaid’s Tale by
Margaret Atwood, Shakespeare’s King Lear, Mark O'Connor’s Half an Hour After
and The Brain is Wider than the Sky by Emily Dickinson

If you are an English language learner meeting stylistics for the first time,
this textbook will familiarize you with the basic terms and key concepts. And
if you are taking an undergraduate stylistics course and you need help on
analyzing texts, you will find here a step-by-step guide to analyzing
different text types using a defined selection of stylistic frameworks. You
will be introduced to the analysis of poetry, fiction, drama, humorous
writing, advertising, political texts and online journalism and offered guided
practice in a range of methodologies, with a particular focus on functional
and pragmatic stylistics.

The opening chapter introduces you to the key foundational terms and concepts,
covering dialect, register, field, tenor, mode, choice, deviation, and
foregrounding. The remaining chapters guide you from theory into practice.
Each stylistic analysis chapter starts with a summary of the methodological
toolkit that will be used, followed by systematic and guided stylistic
analysis of a particular text type and plenty of practice activities.
