CHAPTER ONE
EXPLORATIONS ON STYLE, STYLISTICS
AND THE LANGUAGE OF LITERATURE BY
L. C. OGENYI, PH.D. AND PROF. B. J. OTAGBURAGU (Ph.D.)
Exposition
This chapter captures stylistics and language-literary
analysis. Language is defined as the medium of literature. The distinction
between language and literature as portrayed in this chapter is that language
is a set of words, phrases and clauses, while literature is the manipulation
and use of the rules of the language to make meaning.
Evaluation
The
chapter explains that some authors that both teachers and students complain
that the book are too difficult. Hence, both need to follow a guideline to
better results. This is a necessary write-up for every scholar.
CHAPTER TWO: LINGUISTIC DEVICES IN
STYLISTICS BY F. U. NNAMANI
Exposition
In this chapter, the writer describes Stylistics as having
Janus-like nature which is also multi-dimensional. This can be seen in
linguistics. Style as a manner of presenting ideas is used by creative artists
in expressing their thoughts and ideas.
Evaluation
This chapter notes that the writer explains his view points
with simple sentences. The style is principally what is examined and this makes
stylistics focus on the surface level. . . . . . . . . . .
