THIS BOOK looks at the connection between language and literary appreciation via stylistics. While it captures the conceptual fundamentals of the varied English forms and their proper categorization into the standard and the nonstandard varieties, the book also addresses the fundamentals of a stylistic study of English language both as a linguistic practice and as a strategy for literary examination. This work advances that language needs to be screened and applied in consideration of the very society where it operates. It is indeed a valuable resource for students of English in tertiary institutions who are desirous of understanding the intricacies of English language varieties, forms and stylistics.
