Martin Solly is Associate Professor of English Language and Linguistics at the University of Turin.
Covering a wide range of topics, Solly's volume effectively
demonstrates the complexity of stylistic analysis and
interpretation in texts... Overall, the book is a valuable source
of linguistic research on stylistics, addressing both scholars in
applied linguistics and the respectively reviewed disciplines as
well as students of stylistics and professional discourse
analysis.--Ines-A. Busch-Lauer, University of Applied Sciences in
Zwickau "Linguist List"
Martin Solly elegantly demonstrates that stylistics can reveal how
professional groups mark their distinctive identity, with doctors,
lawyers and educators providing the model. He deftly draws out the
stylistic techniques that can create a sense of shared community,
and in the process provides a primer of approaches to analysing
discourse.--Professor Michael Kelly, University of Southampton
This volume presents a remarkable primer of stylistic studies...
First, Solly has gained abundant experience and expertise in the
study of professional discourse, which has enabled him to garner
sufficient and authentic data for this volume. Second, various
professions are covered and explored, such as health, legal and
education. Thus, different facets of the contemporary workplace are
examined, along with an exploration of its distinctive stylistic
features and patterns, which makes the conclusions more persuasive
and valid, and offers valuable insights into stylistic features of
professional discourse. Third, though stylistics is not a new
topic, Solly promotes a unique perspective by integrating the
professional discourse with a social context. This volume is
accessible and is highly recommended, especially for students and
researchers involved in stylistic studies, discourse analysis and
professional communication.--Danping Wu, Zhejiang University
