Call for Manuscripts

The publishers and editors are proud that the book series Linguistic Approaches to Literature (LAL) has meanwhile produced two fine books:

Cognitive Stylistics: Language and Cognition in Text Analysis, edited by Elena Semino and Jonathan Culpeper, 2000, ISBN Hb 90 272 3331 4; Pb 90 272 3332 2.

On the Discourse of Satire: Towards a Stylistic Model of Satirical Humour by Paul Simpson, 2003, ISBN Hb. 90 272 3333 0; Pb 90 272 3334 9.

Forthcoming: Point of View in Plays and Other Texts by Dan McIntyre.

Forthcoming: The Quality of Literature. Studies in literary evaluation by Willie van Peer (Ed.)

To keep the momentum of the series going, we now welcome manuscripts from scholars who are dedicated to interdisciplinary research and who believe that the application of linguistics leads to a deeper and more far-reaching understanding of literary phenomena. With this end in view, the emphasis of the series is on pragmatic approaches intersecting with areas such as discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, ethnolinguistics, rhetoric, philosophy, cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistics and stylistics.

The series is designed for monographs, collections (provided these are strongly cohesive), and textbooks.
