Extract

An essentially interdisciplinary activity, like many areas of applied linguistics, the most immediately contingent area to stylistics remains that of literary studies, although recent years have witnessed extension into other domains such as lexicography and teaching English as a Foreign Language. This survey is divided into five main sections but, given the interrelatedness of the areas, there will be inevitable overlaps as well as potential cases for sub-categorization. The sections are: 1) Linguistic stylistics 2) Literary stylistics 3) Style and discourse A) Pedagogical stylistics 5) Stylistics and the foreign language learner.
