One of the greatest challenges of a textbook is presenting key concepts in a simple, clear, and concise way. In Stylistics: Text, Cognition and Corpora, Jane Lugea and Brian Walker achieve this goal brilliantly. Each chapter opens with a brief theoretical overview followed by illustrative textual analyses and ends with an effective summary. In an original way, the book combines text, cognition and corpora in an organic and integrated whole, offers tools for hands-on learning, and poses challenges to those interested in pursuing further investigation in the field. An up-to-date and refreshing approach into stylistics. Sonia Zyngier, Adjunct Professor, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil This textbook introduces the reader to contemporary approaches to language analysis including cognitive stylistics and corpus stylistics, reflecting recent shifts in research trends and offering students a practical way to access and understand these developments. The authors lead readers through detailed explanations, guided analyses, examples of research and suggestions for further reading. This textbook makes an ideal introduction to the field of stylistics for students who are new to the area, but who have some background in basic language analysis. It will be of use to students on courses in stylistics, literary linguistics, corpus methods, cognitive linguistics, and language and style. Jane Lugea is Senior Lecturer in English Language and Stylistics at Queen's University Belfast, UK. Brian Walker is Visiting Research Fellow in Corpus Linguistics at the University of Huddersfield, UK. .
