The English Language
:
Form and Use
. New York: David McKay Co., Inc., 1974.
A very useful text in approaching stylistics. This is the Freshman English Text at Cleveland State University. Chapters 22-25 are valuable, especially 23. The whole book is an excellent resource text for the English teacher, and runs the gamut of lessons in English language.
