These are opposites not recognisable as such out of context but that are clearly set up this way in the text concerned.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe significance of oppositional meaning is well-known, and has been discussed by scholars for millennia, from Philosophy to Politics.  But the main emphasis has always been on the conventional opposite: the opposite recognised by lexical semantics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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 is now essential reading for researchers and graduates in stylistics, linguistics and language studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProfessor Lesley Jeffries \u003c\/b\u003eis Chair of English Language and Director of the Stylistics Research Centre at the University of Huddersfield, UK.
