These are opposites not recognisable as such out of context but that are clearly set up this way in the text concerned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe significance of oppositional meaning is well-known, and has been discussed by scholars for millennial, from Philosophy to Politics. But the main emphasis has always been on the conventional opposite: the opposite recognised by lexical semantics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStarting from socio-cultural viewpoints, moving to original research and then concluding with a new theoretical formulation, this book introduces and consolidates a significant new approach to the analysis of oppositional meaning. It closes with a discussion of the importance of constructed opposition in hegemonic practice and makes a case for the inclusion of opposition as a central tool of critical discourse analysis. It will be essential reading for researchers and graduates in stylistics, linguistics and language studies.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134570086640,"sku":"9781441191731","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781441191731_p0.jpg?v=1763794459","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781441191731","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
