Features: Modern stylistics only developed into an independent discipline and became a regular university course in foreign countries in the 1960s and in China in the 1980s. Stylistics is also an interdisciplinary subject, with its essence being cross-disciplinary comparative research between linguistics and adjacent disciplines such as literature, law, political science, media studies, cognitive science, education, and others. This book introduces the development and basic knowledge of stylistics, with a total of 14 chapters divided into three parts: Stylistic Style and Stylistic Studies, The Composition of Stylistic Style, and The Analysis of Stylistic Style. This book employs a comparative approach to discuss stylistic theory and its analytical models, aiming to enhance learners' theoretical understanding, appreciation, and problem-solving skills. It serves as a reading material for college students majoring in foreign languages, university-level foreign language students, humanities and social science students, and students from other related disciplines to broaden their knowledge, strengthen critical thinking, and foster innovative thinking. It also makes a long-term contribution to cultivating national construction talents with high humanities and social science literacy.
