'Stylistics' is the study of language in the service of literary ends. This title demonstrates how stylistic analysis can be applied to novels and stories. It shows the practical ways in which linguistic analysis and literary appreciation can be combined, and illuminated, through the study of literary 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.

Written by a team led by a world authority in English grammar, English Grammar for Today has established itself as a rich educational experience for both native- and non-native-speaking students.

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.
