Opis

Critical Discourse Stylistics provides an alternativetext processing approach to discourse analysis andstylistics studies with differentiating features inthe way that it aims to relate functions oflinguistic structures to certain value systems,beliefs, taken-for-granted assumptions- in short,ideology- in society. Therefore, in this approach,the emphasis is on lying bare what is ideologicallyembedded in linguistic structures. Critical Discourse Stylistics in Practice is a studyof style, integrating a critical perspective inliterary discourse analysis, as it investigates,describes, and specifies the linguistic andextra-linguistic structures that Sabahattin Ali choseto use in the production of the overall ideologicalmessage communicated through his stories.Critical Discourse Stylistics in Practice offers auseful medium of discourse analysis not only for awide range of academicians since it relates analysisof literature to particular worldviews, ideologiesthrough a detailed study of the practices and choicesof language use but also for common readers as itwill provide them with the means of critical readingof works of literature.
