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