Personal Statement
I am a researcher of literary criticism, stylistics and proverb with a passion for advancing knowledge on literature and language. My work focuses on authorial intention, that is, how authors create effects through their linguistic styles and how readers interpret those effects. Literary criticism is the ability to substantiate, evaluate, judge, interprete and analyse a piece of literature, while stylistics deals with the distinctive styles found in particular literary genres and in the works of individual writers. These are done through collaborative, interdisciplinary approaches.
