About the Book

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.

About the Author :
Gibreel Sadeq Alaghbary is an Associate Professor at Qassim University, Saudi Arabia, and Taiz University, Yemen.

Review :
This is a volume that I am happy to recommend across the board. Whether you are a student, researcher, teacher, or developing your curriculum - this textbook has something for everyone. The universal appeal of Alaghbary’s work comes from the way he places praxis on the center stage for understanding stylistic analysis. This book helps not only the beginner, but well-versed linguistic scholars, to delve deep into the practice of literary criticism. The use of linguistic knowledge in the study of literature may not be new, but the study of stylistics has recently bridged the spurious gap between linguistics, a recognized science, and the study of literature. This book is therefore another step carefully calculated to encourage both linguists and literary scholars to develop the links binding the two disciplines in fresh and scientific ways. A practical and user-friendly guide to key trends and terms in stylistics. Lecturers will find inspirational material to help them teach advanced and less advanced students in the intricacies of linguistic analysis and textual interpretation, which are at the core of this vibrant and diverse discipline.
