Böcker av Geoffrey N. Leech

"Professor Leech has given us the first full-length textbook suitable for teaching the 'new stylistics' to undergraduates."Language and Style

This updated third edition is a text for teachers and advanced students of English as a second language. The third edition takes into account the subtle changes which are taking place in the language today to provide a clear and precise guide to English.

This book presents a rhetorical model of pragmatics. Geoffrey Leech argues for a rapprochement between linguistics and the traditional discipline of rhetoric, maintaining that the language system in the abstract must be studied in relation to a fully developed theory of language use.
