Основы стилистики английского языкаОсновы стилистики английского языкаПостроенный с учетом имеющейся учебной литературы по стилистике учебник не дублирует ее, демонстрируя строго сис-темный характер стилевых явлений на лингвопсихологических основаниях. Стилистика представлена как учение о специфических областях частных языковых систем. Различаются «стилистика единиц» (выбор единиц из стилистической парадигмы) и «стилистика последовательностей» (типы сочетания единиц в тексте).

Figures of SpeechFigures of Speech

This book exemplifies, analyses and describes different types of figurative meanings, or tropes, and rhythmical schemes in natural verbal language. It should be of interest to anyone who looks for linguistically oriented information about these questions. The book focuses on figurative language in Standard English, but the analyses and explanations given should be valid also for other languages. Simile, personification, oxymoron, hyperbole, understatement, symbolic language and punning are dealt with, and there is a chapter on rhythmical schemes, but the main part of the book is about metaphor and metonymy, including synecdoche.

Why Translation MattersWhy Translation Matters

Why Translation Matters argues for the cultural importance of translation and for a more encompassing and nuanced appreciation of the translator’s role.
