New Directions in Cognitive Grammar and Style

Marcello Giovanelli is Senior Lecturer in English Language and Literature at Aston University, UK. Chloe Harrison is Lecturer in English Language and Literature at Aston University, UK. Louise Nuttall is Senior Lecturer in English Language and Linguistics at the University of Huddersfield, UK.

This innovative collection showcases the most exciting current applications of cognitive grammar. Its benefits for both literary and non-literary stylistics are demonstrated throughout, with welcome attention to political and media texts, as well as multimodal discourse and pedagogy. The flexibility of the framework emerges clearly, along with its openness, in the hands of such expert researchers as are gathered together here, to bold advances and new directions.
