A Dictionary of Stylistics

Designed both as a dictionary and a guide-book, this volume contains over 600 alphabetically-listed terms relating to the study of stylistics. Using material drawn from a range of sources, including poetic and traditional rhetoric, sociolinguistics and semiotics, it includes quotations and explanations of grammatical theory. It should be useful to upper school students of English for whom it is a first language; undergraduate students of English literature and language, linguistics, communications studies and film and drama; and students of English as a foreign language.
