Abstract:

Cognitive Grammar in Stylistics: A Practical Guide provides an
engaging, accessible and practically-focused introduction to cognitive
grammar outlining how central principles of the field can be used in
stylistic analyses. Assuming no prior knowledge, the book leads
students through the basics of cognitive grammar, outlining its place
within the field of cognitive linguistics as a whole, providing clear
explanations of key principles and concepts. It then explains how
these can be used to study a range of literary and non-literary texts.
The book argues that cognitive grammar offers a powerful alternative
to more traditional grammatical models when analysing texts. Its
primary focus is on the practical application of cognitive grammar to
examples of language in context and on its potential for both literary
and non-literary material. It offers a clear and facilitating approach
to allow students to describe language features carefully and to
explore how these descriptions can be developed into full and rich
analyses.
Suitable for undergraduate students taking modules in stylistics,
English language, and cognitive linguistics, as well as postgraduates
encountering the field for the first time, the book provides a
much-needed and essential guide to this exciting subject.
