Recenzii
'A book that has long been needed, collecting together relatively recent linguistic ideas with the most useful of the older work and presenting them accessibly, without the assumption that the reader either has a sophisticated command of grammatical terms or that tutors will necessarily want to subscribe to either a formal or a functional approach to language study. There is no doubt that this book will be a major contribution to the pool of textbooks upon which stylistics teaching can draw.' - Judy Delin, The Linguist
