Richardson, Peter

SUMMARY

Style combines a concise and clear guide to stylistic revision and a mini-anthology of professional prose stylists. Its approach is non-technical and commonsensical, grounding stylistic instruction in what students already know: namely, how to conduct a conversation. Instead of a list of rules of style, Style offers three stylistic guidelines - relevance, proportion, and clarity - derived from everyday conversation and based on the fields of pragmatics and speech act theory. Plentiful examples, exercise sets, a glossary of grammatical and linguistic terms, and the mini-anthology support the instruction.Richardson, Peter is the author of 'Style A Pragmatic Approach', published 2001 under ISBN 9780205321087 and ISBN 0205321089.
