| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study contributes to the development of new areas in stylistics studies in discovering the design of information manipulation in English and extending its range from four points. First, we expanded the target data from written texts of fiction to spoken language, and furthermore to media reports. Second, we applied a new theory of meaning incorporated with the latest findings in fields such as pragmatics, relevance theory and cognitive theory. Thirdly, we investigated tricks in rhetoric, such as inducement, false induction, and weaving, in examples of information manipulation. Fourthly, we built corpora to deepen the language analysis furnishing quantitative support.
We published one book and nine papers in total, and gave a presentation ‘Information Design in Ackroyd’at an international conference, PALA 2014.
