This course introduces the students to modern concepts of style as distinguished from the traditional one. It will introduce the notion of style to the student, both in literary and non-literary discourses from a purely linguistic perspective, and includes a comparison of style in literary and non-literary discourses in the context of genre-leading to the identification of different registers.
The fundamental philosophy of the course is twofold:
(1) To teach you a set of analytical TOOLS from the "stylistician's toolkit" that you can use to examine texts (for example, their words, sounds, structures, or interactive aspects).
(2) To encourage you to use those tools on additional texts, both during and after the sessions, so that you learn by doing.
