Acknowledgements
I would like to thank a number of people who have been influential and inspiring. My deep belief and interest in stylistics is indebted to the French Société de Stylistique Anglaise (SSA), successively chaired, since I joined it, by Wilfrid Rotgé, Monique de Mattia-Viviès and Manuel Jobert. I also address warm thanks to the proponents of research in stylistics through its international organization, Poetics and Linguistics Association (PALA), where I have met stimulating colleagues and friends (Lesley Jeffries, Rocío Montoro, Dan McIntyre and Michael Toolan, to name but a few). Paul Simpson deserves very special thanks for his kindness and encouragement. Although they do not know this, some of their research has given me the impetus to explore other areas of knowledge— like the TV series in this book—which is beyond my traditional field of expertise (literary stylistics). Thanks to them, I have realized how much stylistics is marked by its ability to ‘hyphenate’ with other areas of language study
