STYLISTICS

The term “style” originated from the Latin word ‘stylus’ which meant ‘a pen’.

THE CONCEPT OF STYLE IN

STYLISTICS

Vinogradov defines style as:

“socially recognized and functionally conditioned internally united totality of the ways of using, selecting and combining the means of lingual intercourse in the sphere of one national language or another ‹…›”.

THE CONCEPT OF STYLE IN

STYLISTICS

According to Galperin, style is

“a system of interrelated language means which serves a definite aim in communication.”

THE CONCEPT OF STYLE IN

STYLISTICS

According to Skrebnev,

“style is what differentiates a group of homogeneous texts (an individual text) from all other groups (other texts) ‹…› Style can be roughly defined as the peculiarity, the set of specific features of a text type or of a specific text.”

THE CONCEPT OF STYLE IN

STYLISTICS

style is a system;
style is functionally determined

AS A SCIENCE

Vera V. Golubeva

THE OBJECT OF STYLISTICS

certain stylistic

meanings of such elements as phonemes, morphemes, words and sentences;
the structure and composition of the whole text

THE OBJECT OF STYLISTICS

OBJECTIVE 1.

To investigate the inventory of special language media which by their characteristic features secure the desirable effect of the utterance

AS A SCIENCE
11
Vera V. Golubeva

THE OBJECT OF STYLISTICS

The special

media of language which secure the desirable effect of the utte­rance are called stylistic devices (SD) and expressive means (EM).

AS A SCIENCE
12
Vera V. Golubeva

THE OBJECT OF STYLISTICS

OBJECTIVE 2.

To

examine certain types of texts (discourse) which due to the choice and arrangement of language means are distinguished by the pragmatic aspect of the communication.

AS A SCIENCE
13
Vera V. Golubeva

THE OBJECT OF STYLISTICS

The types

of texts that are distinguished by the pragmatic aspect of the communication are called functional styles of language (FS).

Vera V. Golubeva

STYLISTICS OF LANGUAGE AND SPEECH

Stylistics

deals with texts, not with the system of signs or process of speech production as such. But within these texts elements stylistically relevant are studied both syntagmatically and paradigmatically (loosely classifying all stylistic means paradigmatically into tropes and syntagmatically into figures of speech).

AS A SCIENCE
15
Vera V. Golubeva

STYLISTICS OF LANGUAGE AND SPEECH

The

stylistics of language analyses permanent or inherent stylistic properties of language elements while the stylistics of speech studies stylistic properties, which appear in a context, and they are called adherent.

AS A SCIENCE
16
Vera V. Golubeva
STYLISTICS OF LANGUAGE AND SPEECH

So

stylistics of language describes and classifies the inherent stylistic colouring of language units. Stylistics of speech studies the composition of the utterance – the arrangement, selection and distribution of different words, and their adherent qualities.

BRANCHES OF STYLISTICS
Literary and linguistic

stylistics

Both study the common ground of:
1) the literary language from the point of view of its variability;
2) the idiolect (individual speech) of a writer;
3) poetic speech that has its own specific laws;
4) functional styles (in their development and current state);
5) the linguistic nature of the expressive means of the language, their systematic character and their functions.

BRANCHES OF STYLISTICS
Literary and linguistic

• the composition of a work of art.
• various literary genres.
• the writer’s outlook.

BRANCHES OF STYLISTICS

• expressive means and stylistic devices

BRANCHES OF STYLISTICS
Comparative stylistics

Comparative stylistics

is connected with the contrastive study of more than one language.
It analyses the stylistic resources not inherent in a separate language but at the crossroads of two languages, or two literatures and is obviously linked to the theory of translation.

BRANCHES OF STYLISTICS
Decoding stylistics

The supplier

of the information is the encoder. The addressee plays the part of the decoder of the information contained in the message.

AS A SCIENCE
22
Vera V. Golubeva


BRANCHES OF STYLISTICS
Functional stylistics

Special mention

should be made of functional stylistics which is a branch of lingua-stylistics that investigates functional styles, that is special sublanguages or varieties of the national language.

AS A SCIENCE
23
Vera V. Golubeva


BRANCHES OF STYLISTICS

Stylistic lexicology studies

the semantic structure of the word and the interrelation (or interplay) of the connotative and denotative meanings of the word, as well as the interrelation of the stylistic connotations of the word and the context.

AS A SCIENCE
24
Vera V. Golubeva
BRANCHES OF STYLISTICS

Stylistic Phonetics (or

Phonostylistics) is engaged in the study of style-forming phonetic features of the text. It describes the prosodic features of prose and poetry and variants of pronunciation in different types of speech (colloquial or oratory or recital).

AS A SCIENCE

BRANCHES OF STYLISTICS
Stylistic grammar
Stylistic Morphology

is interested in the stylistic potentials of specific grammatical forms and categories, such as the number of the noun, or the peculiar use of tense forms of the verb, etc.

Stylistic Syntax has to do with the expressive order of words, types of syntactic links (asyndeton, polysyndeton), figures of speech (antithesis, chiasmus, etc.). It also deals with bigger units from paragraph onwards.

CLASSIFICATION OF FUNCTIONAL STYLES

“May I

offer you a chair?”
“Take a seat, please.”
“Sit down.”

CLASSIFICATION OF FUNCTIONAL STYLES

Galperin says

that the functional style is

“a system of coordinated, interrelated and interconditioned language means intended to fulfill a specific function of communication and aiming at a definite effect”.
