So one of my modules this semester is on literary stylistics. This is great, the subject is intriguing and will be useful for analysis.
However apparently there is, like, an intense stigma around the subject from literary analysts? It's just one sided too, so folks in stylistics are just trying to argue that analysing text from a linguistics perspective can be interesting, whilst lit analysts keep trying to argue that it inhibits creative readings (?) and is too 'scientific', despite stylistics literally being very open about being an act of interpretation.
Also the Fowler-Bateson debate is a funny example of academic beef. "it is common knowledge that most structural linguists don't write particularly good English prose" is one line from Bateson's response to Fowler, and his second response quite literally starts with "Would I allow my sister to marry a linguist? It is a good question." Which... Is insane lol
hello! if anyone has good lexicology-stylistics books/articles recommendations and/or knows something about books/articles about lexicological or general linguistical peculiarities of the fantasy genre, i would greatly appreciate it if you could send me a title or a link. itβs for my first ever research paper and i am a nervous youngling. thank you in advance! β£οΈ

POV you are completely fucked during a test and are just trying to use as many Big Words as possible:
At this point, my greatest aspiration is for my prof to see this, burst out laughing and yell "Honey come look at this bullshit" at his wife in the next room.
Betcha By Golly Wow, by The Stylistics. The Stylistics were one of the most well-known Philadelphia soul groups of the 1970s. Formed in 1968, they comprised lead Russell Thompkins, Jr., Herbie Murrell, Airrion Love, James Smith, and James Dunn.
They had their first U.S. hit in 1971 with "You're a Big Girl Now". Signing to Avco Records, The Stylistics began working with producer Thom Bell, who had already produced a catalogue of hits for The Delfonics, and songwriter Linda Creed. Bell imported the sweet soul techniques he had perfected with The Delfonics, and his arrangements worked perfectly with Thompkins' falsetto. The bittersweet lyrics from Creed were a key factor in creating hugely memorable music.
Their hits, distilled from three albums, from this period included "Betcha by Golly, Wow", "I'm Stone in Love with You", "You Make Me Feel Brand New" featuring a double lead with Love, "Stop, Look, Listen To Your Heart" and "You Are Everything". "You Make Me Feel Brand New" was the group's biggest U.S. hit, holding at #2 for two weeks in the spring of 1974, and was one of five U.S. gold singles the Stylistics collected. The Stylistics' smooth sound also found an easier path onto adult contemporary airwaves than other soul artists, and the group made Billboard magazine's Easy Listening singles chart twelve times from 1971 to 1976, with three entries, "Betcha By Golly, Wow," "You Make Me Feel Brand New," and "You'll Never Get To Heaven (If You Break My Heart)" reaching the Top 10.
