What are some recent analyses of Hemingway's works from the field of literary stylistics?

Two recent works dating from 2010 that examine Hemingway
from a stylistic perspective are an academic paper and a book. The scholarship comes
from academicians in China and India, respectively. The paper is "The Interpretation of
a Novel by Hemingway in Terms of Literary Stylistics" and is published in
href="http://www.educ.utas.edu.au/users/tle/JOURNAL/issues/2010/30-12.pdf">The
International Journal of Language Society and Culture
(2010). The
author, Zhiqin Zhang, examines Hemingway's "deviation in nominal and verbal structures
and repetitions" and attributes these deviations to revelation of his theme in the story
"Cat in the Rain."


Nozar Niazi and Rama Gautam of India
have written How to Study Literature: Stylistic and Pragmatic
Approaches
. While the book is devoted to examining many authors, a section
deals with Hemingway. Niaz and Gautam apply stylistics to Hemingway's works and admit
that stylistics and pragmatics cannot "solve all the problems of literary analysis" of
his novels, as expressed by href="http://sites.google.com/site/journalofenglishliterature/archives/vol-1-no-6-oct--dec-2010">Dr.
Kalyani Malthivanan
, Professor and Head of the Department of English, Ethiraj
College, Chennai. Despite limitations with the approaches, the in-depth examination of
Hemingway's novels form a highlight of the book.
