Journal Title: STYLES OF COMMUNICATION - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
The author of the book to be reviewed holds MA degree in English and a PhD degree in linguistics, and is an associate professor in the Department of English of the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn (Poland). I have learned that the book has been submitted as her habilitationsschrift, which struck me as a little odd because the book is only 126 pages long, with the text itself below 100 pages.
