Chapter 1 Introduction
Since Traite de Stylistique Francaise written by Charles Bally got published in 1909, modern stylistics begins to get its fast development. It has become an interdisciplinary field of study. Based on different linguistic models and research purposes, stylistics can be divided into various schools. When it comes to the study of the aesthetic effect and theme in literary works, Leech (1969) defines it as literary stylistics which applies linguistic theory and
methodology to literary texts. Maxine Hong Kingston is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding Chinese American writers, who has made a great contribution to Chinese American literature. The
thesis does a stylistic analysis on Kingston’s three masterpieces. This Chapter makes a brief introduction about the purpose and significance of the research, the methods as well as the structure of the thesis.
1.1 The Purpose and Significance of the Research
Stylistics is the study of style. When taking literary text as the object of study, the goal of stylistics is to explain the relation between language and artistic function. Maxine Hong Kingston has published nine books including five novels, three collections of
essays, and one book about poetry, among which, her first three novels—The Woman Warrior, China Men, and Tripmaster Monkey are considered as her three masterpieces. As a representative of ethnic minority writers, Kingston penetrates her cultural attitudes in her works. Instead of erasing the difference, Kingston uses the
strategy of cultural hybridity in “Americanizing Chinese tales and sinicizing Euro—Amercian ones” (Zheng Jun, 2011: 41). Hybridity stresses a syncretic view of the world and tolerates the existence of differences. Her first three works are frequently mentioned in studies of cultural hybridity. But most researches are done from the perspective of literary criticism. Seldom has been done based on stylistics. The purpose of this thesis is to discuss the cultural hybridity in Kingston’s first three novels by an analysis of the relevant stylistic features. It seeks to relate the linguistic features to the cultural hybridity reflected in the novels, thus reveals how the three novels achieve hybridity. Meanwhile, through a detailed examination of the three novels, the research tries to explore the reasons that cause cultural hybridity and Kingston’s attitude towards it.

1.2 Methods of the Research
According to Leech (1969), stylistics is a branch of linguistics which applies the theory and methodology of modern linguistics to the study of style.
