- The critical project of this book was reached jointly by its co-authors. Whiteley’s contribution to the publication was - in collaboration with her co-authors - to establish the intellectual framework, structure and content of the volume and act as lead writer, co-writer or reviewer/editor of the copy. She was lead writer of Chapter 2 (30-60), and co-writer of Chapter 7 with Peplow (173-194), producing drafts for the other authors to review and edit, and acting on the comments of the other authors in order to produce the final drafts of these sections. She also contributed to Chapter 1 ‘Introduction’ and reviewed and edited drafts of all the other chapters produced by her co-authors. Chapter 2, ‘Social Reading and the Cognitive Stylistics of Literary Texts’, discusses Whiteley’s own cognitive linguistic research into literary language and the talk of reading groups, drawing on data collected in her research projects. Chapter 7: ‘Conclusion: Developing an Integrated Analysis of Reading Group Discourse’ offers a new synthesis of the cognitive and sociocultural analytical approaches that are covered in the book, generated through the collaborative intellectual work of the authors. Whiteley contributed her expertise in cognitive discourse analysis to the achievement of this synthesis.
