Abstract:

This paper displays the ideological positioning as found in Rudyard Kipling’s poem If. It is a poem published in 1910. It presents the embedded ideologies and shows how the poet used the available linguistic resources to achieve his goal. The models of analysis adopted are Critical Stylistics as proposed by Lesley Jeffries (2010) and Stylistic Analysis as submitted by McIntyre (2010). The paper aims at identifying the poet’s beliefs to show that success is the outcome of self-control and a real sense of the values of things. It is a try to discover how the poet used various linguistic choices

Abstract:

A very recent trend in stylistics proposes the extension of its field of enquiry to accommodate various forms of multimodal art. Reflecting as it does the growing semiotic complexity of contemporary aesthetics, ‘multimodal stylistics’ is a welcome development. So far, however, its proponents have concentrated on genres in which texts are complemented by, or realized through, the visual medium – films, stage plays, television series and illustrated books. In this article, a multimodal stylistic analysis is attempted on a genre which has attracted little critical attention in linguistics – moder

Style and stylistics are two critical terms, that they exceed Kurdish modern criticism in the spread of researching modern critical literature of people and modern Kurdish literature. Style is a wide range of using language, stylistics is a researchable science and it is the detail of the styles. Modern linguistics that (Bale) invented, paves the way for the emergence of this modern science for studying style, how modern linguistics studies (speech) and likewise stylistics studies styles of speech. This research sheds light on these two terms.

Critical Stylistics is concerned with the study of ideology in literary and political texts. It draws on certain criteria from the stylistic analysis. Thus, this paper attempts to apply Jeffries’ (2010) model of critical stylistics to soliloquies of Shakespearean Hamlet. It specifically aims at analyzing the two soliloquies made by the character Hamlet using only three textual-conceptual functions of the model: Representing Actions/ Events/ States; Exemplifying and Enumerating; and Hypothesizing. These functions are adopted here because they somehow represent what the character is saying loudl

Stylistics is a modern critical approach that studies literary texts on the basis of analyzing linguistic phenomena in a way that reveals its organization according to phonetic, synthetic and rhetorical levels, leading to a distinction between the works of writers and poets. And one of the most prominent stylistic characteristics is the rhythmic interface, which is represented in coherent tonal elements of a collective or individual character. This research is based on the study of the rhythm aspect in my poem Kawthari by Seyed Reda al-Musawi al-Hindi and Muhammad Jawad al-Janabi. contemporari

Abstract:

For many years, a common assumption in linguistics has been that the anthology of Whorf's papers (1956) espouses a distinct 'hypothesis' - the language system determines the manner in which its speakers understand reality. This goes under the names of 'linguistic determinism' or the 'Whorfian hypothesis'. As confirmation of this espousal, many stylisticians and critical linguists cite a famous paragraph in the paper 'Science and Linguistics' (SL). The `hypothesis', however, is actually a misconstrual of Whorf's writings. An exploration of his papers, as Ellis (1993) points out, shows that ther

Abstract In doing a critical reading of news commentary headlines drawn from a corpus, this study uses critical stylistics as an initial tool for delineating the headlines’ textual, ideational and interpersonal features and also for categorizing them according to the main type of triggering located in their respective textual-conceptual functions. Presuppositions are found to be a key device in constructing the headlines’ ideational “text-worlds”, which can strategically activate readers’ “belief systems knowledge” and rapidly validate or shape their attitudes regarding social reality, even wh

Abstract:

Stylistic analysis implies analyzing a poem from the linguistic as well as critical point of view. While the former leads to a better understanding of the devices used and the construction of the poem, the latter enables one to look at the poem from a critical angle. Together, one gets a complete and comprehensive picture of the poem. In stylistics, it is possible to look at a poem from the point of view of graphology, morphology, phonology and lexico-syntactic level. In this paper, the poem “the Snake’ by D. H. Lawrence has been analysed stylistically. It helps the reader to notice the unique

Abstract:

Media reports on Niger Delta (Henceforth, ND) conflicts have reflected a relationship between lexico-stylistic choices and media ideologies. The existing media studies on the discourse have predominantly utilised pragmatic, stylistic and discourse analytical tools in presenting and labelling discourse participants and/or their ideologies, but neglected how media ideologies can be revealed through lexico-stylistic choices made in the reports. This paper therefore examines the lexico-stylistic choices in the reports in order to establish their link to specific ideological goals of the newspapers

This research investigates the transformative potential of literary analysis in advancing English proficiency among Egyptian EFL learners, particularly those in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities. The study focuses on the linguistic and analytical challenges encountered by recent public-school graduates in the Suez Governorate, where English instruction is limited to simplified texts and lacks critical engagement. Unlike their counterparts from language schools in Cairo, these students enter university without placement tests, relying solely on their high school grades, which results in underd

Abstract:

The study of ideology in literary and political texts is the concern of any critical study including critical stylistics. The current paper deals with the ideological positioning of Joe Biden’s and Bill Clinton’s inaugural addresses. The researchers adopt one toolkit called negation with its various categories of Critical Stylistics, as suggested by Jeffries (2010) in order to uncover the ideologies that are hidden in the presidents’ inaugural addresses. To explore the ideology in each category of negation, qualitative and quantitative approaches are adopted. The findings reveal that negating

This article tries to argue that systemic functional linguistic (SFL) stylistics or Hallidayan‘s stilistics can be integrated directly with the creative writing process or vice versa, and can provide a broad insight into determining meaning choices. The determination of this choice of meaning can be done by considering the sources of meaning available in three levels, namely: (1) the level of context of culture and context of situation with its three components, i.e., field, mode, tenor; (2) the level of discourse semantics with its three components, namely ideational (logical & experienti

This research paper investigates gendered representations in Tehmina Durrani’s novel Blasphemy through the lens of Sara Mills’ Feminist Stylistics, focusing specifically on the analysis of gender roles. By employing Mills’ model, the study scrutinizes how linguistic choices and narrative structures construct and perpetuate patriarchal ideologies within the text. The research identifies and examines key thematic patterns including the portrayal of women as inferior beings, men as masters, women confined to the roles of housewives and maids, and the imposition of cultural and religious obligatio

Edgar Rice Burroughs' novel Tarzan of the Apes has been celebrated as a classic of adventure fiction that is known globally. It is important to explore the ideological world built through the language choices that the writer has made. For that purpose, the current research through the lens of Critical Stylistics aims to examine the different ways through which ‘white supremacy’ is built and reinforced throughout the novel. Critical Stylistics as a methodological tool looks at challenging dominant ideologies. The analysis of the novel shows that Burroughs through linguistic and structural choic
