This book deals with the study of style in language, how styles can be
recognized, and their features. It examines how style is used in
literary and non-literary texts, and how familiarity with style is a
matter of socialization. The author also discusses the relationship
between text and discourse, the production and reception of meaning as a
dynamic contextualized interaction, the question of perspective and the
variable representation of reality, and how stylistics can complement
literary criticism. The final chapter deals with social reading and
ideological positioning, including some thoughts on feminist stylistics
and critical discourse analysis.
