Reviews of the first edition:
'...a work of high seriousness...manna from rhetorical heaven for students and researchers with a lot of hard graft ahead of them... '(English Today)
'...an impressive single-author reference work... '(English)
'...Not only is this volume indispensible for anyone, students or academics, working in any field related to stylistics, it is, like all the best dictionaries, a very good read...' (Le Lingue del Mondo)
Over the past ten years there have been striking advances in stylistics. These have given rise to new terms and to revised thinking of concepts and re-definitions of terms. A Dictionary of Stylistics, 2nd Edition contains over 600 alphabeticlly listed entries: fully revised since the first and second editions, it contains many new entries.
Drawing material from stylistics and a range of related disciplines such as sociolinguistics, cognitive linguistics and traditional rhetoric, the revised Third Edition provides a valuable reference work for students and teachers of stylistics, as well as critical discourse analysis and literary criticism. At the same time it provides a general picture of the nature, insights and methodologies of stylistics. As well as explaining terminology clearly and concisely, this edition contains a subject index for further ease of use.
With numerous quotations; explanations for many basic terms from grammar and rhetoric; and a comprehensive bibliography, this is a unique reference work and handbook for stylistic and textual analysis. Students and teachers at secondary and tertiary levels of English language and literature or English as a foreign or second language, and of linguistics, will find it an invaluable source of information.
Katie Wales is Professor of Modern English Language, University of Leeds and Dean of Learning and Teaching in the Faculty of Arts.
?Should be bedtime reading for every English language and literature lover?

Katie Wales? A Dictionary of Stylistics has long been regarded as the definitive encyclopaedic reference book for stylistic and textual analysis. Now in its third edition, the dictionary has been fully revised and updated to incorporate new concepts and terms across a range of related disciplines, with over 600 entries clearly explained and illustrated from a variety of written, spoken and electronic materials.
In the last decade there have been striking advances in stylistics, with fields such as eco-criticism, ethical criticism and forensic linguistics receiving increasing attention, and growing interest in computer-mediated and multimodal forms of communication. A Dictionary of Stylistics provides a comprehensive and illuminating picture of the flourishing discipline of stylistics and its history in the past century, examining the methodologies and concerns of stylistics, and their practical applications for the analysis and interpretation of literary and non-literary texts. With many basic terms from grammar, lexis, metre and discourse explained, it is also designed to encourage readers in their own analyses and interpretations.
New to this edition:
· Subject and author indexes for ease of reference
· Expanded list of abbreviations
· Comprehensive updated reading list for further study
This thoroughly revised new edition of a classic reference work will be a valuable resource for students and teachers alike.
