Such study is possible at the University of Wisconsin-Madison English Department, though the offerings are pretty slim in stylistics. Thanks in advance. I have been unable to locate these in the Eric, Medline or Psyc databases. This may mean that they represent unpublished or forthcoming work, or technical reports. If any Linguist List subscribers recognize either of the studies, and can provide me with information as to authors, sources, etc.
Literature is a subcase of language for special purposes.
