Explorations in stylistics /

出版社：

简介：Author Goatly (English, Lingnan U., Hong Kong) identifies some of the development in the field of Stylistics since its pioneer, Roman Jakobson, identified the patterning of the message as the poetic function. His analyses illustrate how Jakobson's primary emphasis on the message surrenders to emphasis on the code (language) or undermining the code, on context, on reader response, and on the relationship of the shared assumptions of the addresser (speaker, writer) and addressee (listener, reader). To illustrate, the author uses a diverse selection of authors, from Golding to Pinter, and from Ishiguro to Rowling. A pivotal chapter examines how the differing stylistic perspectives can be applied to the same text. The essays will interest both undergraduate and graduate students in Stylistics courses.

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Goatly (Lingnan U.) demonstrates the importance of metaphorical patterns in the vocabulary and grammar of English for representing and shaping ideologies and social practices by relating metaphorical patterns or themes to a wide range of aspects of contemporary life, including medical practice, adversarial legal systems, time and motion studies, the politics behind 9/11, racism, privatization, sexual exploitation, and ecological crises. He draws on cognitive linguistic accounts of metaphor, and critical discourse analysis--fields that have been the focus of his research over the years.
