Employing both established and cutting-edge methodologies from, among others, corpus linguistics, metaphor studies, Text World Theory and ecostylistics, the eleven chapters in the volume provide an overview of how landscape, place and environment are encoded and can be investigated in literary and non-literary discourse. The studies collected here stand as evidence of the possibility of, and the need for, a "stylistics of landscape", which emphasises how represented spaces are made manifest linguistically; a "stylistics of place", which focuses on the discursive and affective qualities of those represented spaces; and a "stylistics of environment", which reiterates the urgency for environmentally-responsible humanities, able to support a change in the anthropocentric narrative which poses humans as the most important variable in the human-animal and human-environment relationships"--Provided by publisher.Linguistic approaches to literature37Landscapes in literatureEnvironmental geography in literaturePlace (Philosophy) in literatureLandscapes in literature.Environmental geography in literature.Place (Philosophy) in literature.809.9332Virdis Daniela Francesca1257601Zurru Elisabetta1529400Lahey Ernestine1529401MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910794695303321Language in place3773588UNINA
