English Stylistics A Cognitive Grammar Approach

This accessible textbook hinges on the central assumptions of Cognitive Linguistics and Cognitive Grammar, introducing students to the analytical tools they need to approach Stylistics, an essential area in language analysis. The author verifies the claim that alterations in style, triggered by different cognitive processes, reflect alterations in meaning, and shows how they are employed to achieve particular effects in context.
The book links theory with practice, aiming both to acquaint students with the cognitive principles that account for stylistic expressions, and to provide them with the tools and techniques to conduct their own analyses. The textbook explores and explains how writers use the resources of language to create meaning, and how readers interpret texts. It will be of interest to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students on courses in English Linguistics, as well as those working on other languages and in related areas such as Composition and Creative Writing.
“Adopting a Cognitive Grammar framework, Zeki Hamawand’s textbook shows how stylistic patterns reflect fundamental properties of the human mind. In a very accessible manner that will appeal to students, teachers, and scholars alike, it explores and explains how writers use the resources of language to create meaning, and how readers interpret texts. It is recommended as a rich and systematic guide to acquaint students with the cognitive principles that account for stylistic expressions and with the techniques to conduct their own analyses.”-Dirk Geeraerts, Professor Emeritus of Linguistics, University of Leuven, Belgium
“Hamawand’s textbook on English Stylistics outlines how stylistic analysis is a way of gaining insight into the meaning of texts. With its thorough presentation of underlying theory and its application to texts, both on an abstract level and also through a close reading of selected excerpts, the author establishes the significance of stylistics in reading of texts. ”
–Margaret E. Winters, Professor Emerita of Linguistics, Wayne State University, USA
