Applied Linguistics explores in depth some of the most vital areas in stylistics and language teaching: Anthropomorphism in the Language of Poetry style as a weapon or defence mechanism in Style as Artifice; a new approach to technical style in Technical Style: Implication of Operationalism; discourse structure and teaching of English conversation in Dialogue and Dialogue Teaching; a scientific procedure for the teaching of poetry at the University level in Analysing a Poem: A Linguistic Pedagogical Approach and Teaching Poetry: A Linguistic Method. Nearly all the articles are analytical and thought-provoking; the author has avoided repeating familiar views and ideas and has sought to break new ground.
