Summary

Styleis a practical, user-friendly volume which provides a skills-enabling introduction to the analysis of stylistics. One of the most accessible linguistics books of its kind,Styleis designed to help the reader develop an interest in and a sensitivity to words and structures. Styleis arranged in a number of chapters, each devoted to a particular aspect of style. John Haynes demonstrates that the term "style" need not refer to "literary style," and that literary texts are to be studied in the same general way as are other kinds of texts--thus enabling the reader to employ the tools of style analysis from this more-encompassing perspective. The word "text," moreover, refers not only to written language, but to spoken also--thereby including anything from a lecture to a recipe to a conversation over the garden fence. An important addition to the successfulLanguage Workbookseries,Stylewillappeal to anyone interested in language and the study of words.
