| dc.description.abstract | This project aims at investigating features of style in Chimamanda Adichie‟s
Americanah. It majorly focuses on identification of features of style in line with
contemporary stylistics and the analysis of the same features through graphological,
syntactic and semantic levels. The features under study include: features that define
textual medium, sociolinguistic code, actions and events, point of view, textual structure
and intertextuality. This involves an explanation on how the meaning is realized through
the mentioned levels. Foregrounding as a toolkit to studying of stylistics is a guide to this
study. The study starts with an introduction to stylistics which gives an overview of what
contemporary stylistics is. The study further demonstrates the motivation behind studying
Chimamanda‟s work as well as the essence and the argument of stylistic theory. This
study argues that meaning in a text is realized through the levels of style as proposed by
Short and Leech (1981) and that the identified features add value to the text. | en_US |
