Advances in Stylistics provides student resources and research material in cutting-edge stylistics. It forgoes traditional boundaries to encompass the study of both literary and non-literary texts, and covers exciting new developments in the field. It takes a broad view of stylistics as the practice of using linguistic methodologies and analytical frameworks to facilitate the analysis of texts of all genres and types, for the purpose of explaining why we interpret texts in the way that we do. Books in the series address such topics as stylistic theory, discourse analysis, language and cognition, literary genre, corpus stylistics, the analysis of historical texts, pedagogical stylistics, multimodality and stylistic methodologies. The series further develops stylistic and linguistic theory, to demonstrate the application and value of stylistic tools of analysis and further consolidate stylistics as a major study and research area within language studies.Editorial BoardJean Boase-Beier, University of East Anglia, UKBeatrix Busse, University of Heidelberg, GermanySzilvia Csábi, Independent ScholarYaxiao Cui, University of Nottingham, UKMonika Fludernik, University of Freiburg, GermanyLesley Jeffries, University of Huddersfield, UKManuel Jobert, Jean Moulin University, Lyon 3, FranceLorenzo Mastropierro, University of Nottingham, UKEric Rundquist, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, ChileLarry Stewart, College of Wooster, USAOdette Vassallo, University of Malta, MaltaPeter Verdonk, University of Amsterdam, The NetherlandsChantelle Warner, University of Arizona, USA
