Language Within the Scope of Stylistics: Rewiew on Book «Stylistics. Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics» by Lesley Jeffries, Dan McIntyre. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2025. ISBN 9 781 108 441 872

Stylistics has a well-developed theoretical foundation and is characterised by its openness to interdisciplinary interaction. The book «Stylistics. Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics» by Lesley Jeffries and Dan McIntyre offers a reevaluated perspective on stylistics and its place within the system of linguistic disciplines. The publication traces the historical development of stylistics and analyses its fundamental principles. It includes current developments in the fields of cognitive and corpus stylistics. The authors assert text-based as a defining feature of stylistics, examine the linguistic approaches that have significantly influenced the formation of the discipline, and demonstrate its evolution in response to emerging language theories. The reviewed edition convincingly demonstrates the theoretical continuity of stylistics, as well as the interconnections between its analytical approaches and terminological apparatus and related areas of linguistic knowledge. The book is a fundamental work on stylistics that combines systematic exposition with the authors' scholarly perspectives, presented to invite further debate.
