Corpus Stylistics

"This book combines stylistic analysis with corpus linguistics in order to provide an account of the phenomenon of speech, writing and thought presentation - commonly referred to as 'speech reporting' or 'discourse presentation'." "Corpus Stylistics shows how stylistics, and text/discourse analysis more generally, can benefit from the use of a corpus methodology. This book will be essential reading for linguists interested in the areas of stylistics and corpus linguistics."--Jacket.
