Style, Meaning and Pedagogy
by Rachid Acim (Ibn Zohr University, Agadir, Morocco)
A practical handbook for Stylistics classrooms. Through lucid explanations and illustrative examples, it demystifies the process of stylistic analysis, empowering students to navigate the complex landscape of English style, and explore the myriad ways in which language can be shaped and manipulated for rhetorical effects.
A compelling handbook of great potential use for students and classroom practitioners in the field of stylistics and rhetorical studies. It offers a range of significant stylistic concepts and theories adeptly selected, perceptively introduced, and insightfully deployed in the analysis of a diverse array of literary and non-literary texts to illuminate the nuanced interplay between linguistic expression, style and meaning.
