文筆分析：探究達意技巧微妙處
This course aims to give students a working understanding of stylistics so that they may employ stylistic techniques in their own work.
Stylistic analysis is the identification and description of style features in written (and spoken) language to explain how such stylistic features evoke particular feelings and responses, intended by the author, in the mind of the reader (or listener).

In short, we aim to understand how skilled authors subtly influence the delivery of meaning.
