Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

‘Should be bedtime reading for every English language and literature lover’

Professor Elaine Treharne, University of Leicester

'... a work of high seriousness ... manna from rhetorical heaven for students and researchers with a lot of hard graft ahead of them'

English Today

'... an impressive single-author reference work'

English

'... not only is this volume indispensible for anyone – students or academics – working in any field related to stylistics, it is, like all the best dictionaries, a very good read'

Le Lingue del Mondo

 

Katie Wales’ A Dictionary of Stylistics has long been regarded as the definitive encyclopaedic reference book for stylistic and textual analysis. Now in its third edition, the dictionary has been fully revised and updated to incorporate new concepts and terms across a range of related disciplines, with over 600 entries clearly explained and illustrated from a variety of written, spoken and electronic materials.

In the last decade there have been striking advances in stylistics, with fields such as eco-criticism, ethical criticism and forensic linguistics receiving increasing attention, and growing interest in computer-mediated and multimodal forms of communication. A Dictionary of Stylistics provides a comprehensive and illuminating picture of the flourishing discipline of stylistics and its history in the past century, examining the methodologies and concerns of stylistics, and their practical applications for the analysis and interpretation of literary and non-literary texts. With many basic terms from grammar, lexis, metre and discourse explained, it is also designed to encourage readers in their own analyses and interpretations.

 New to this edition:

·        Subject and author indexes for ease of reference

·        Expanded list of abbreviations

·        Comprehensive updated reading list for further study

This thoroughly revised new edition of a classic reference work will be a valuable resource for students and teachers alike.

Katie Wales is a Special Professor of English at the University of Nottingham and a founder member of the Poetics and Linguistics Association.
