Stylistics and other linguistic disciplines

  Stylistics and other linguistic disciplines Language may be approached from a variety of angles and studied in a variety of ways. As we’ve already mentioned there are two global aspects of linguistic studies: language as a system and language in action (Verbal communication). Language system deals with units of language a verbal communication -with units of communication, which arc composed of units of language. Stylistics  is a  synthetic branch  of learning and research, concerned with both stylistic properties in  language system  (stylistically marked vocabulary units, emotionally charged syntactic structures and intonational contours) and in  language in action,  studying variation in language and in the use of language . Stvlistics  is linked with a number of branches of scientific research, such as  sociolinguistics.  psycholinguistics,  text linguistics  and its sister disciplines -  phonology, lexicography, grammar  and  semantics  above all.

Scientific Prose style

  Style of scientific prose   The purpose of science as a branch of human activity is to disclose by research the inner substance of things and phenomena of objective reality and find out the laws regulating them, thus enabling man to predict, control and direct their future development in order to improve the material and social life of mankind. The style of scientific prose is therefore mainly characterized by an arrangement of language means which will bring proofs to clinch a theory. The main function of scientific prose is proof. The selection of language means must therefore meet this principle requirement. The genre of scientific works is mostly characteristic of the written form of language (scientific articles, monographs or textbooks), but it may also be found in its oral form (in scientific reports, lectures, discussions at conferences, etc.); in the latter case this style has some features of colloquial speech. The language of science is governed by the aim of the fun

General considerations on Stylistics as a branch of linguistics

STYLISTICS AS A BRANCH OF LINGUISTICS:GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS 1)    The subject of stylistics 2)    Problems of stylistic research 3)    Types of research and branches of stylistics 4)    The concept of norm and its variants 5)    Individual study 6)    The concept of functional styles   Units of language on different levels are studied by traditional branches of linguistics such as phonetics that deals with speech sounds and intonation; lexicology that treats words, their meaning and vocabulary structure, grammar that analyzes forms of words and their function in a sentence which is studied by syntax. These areas of linguistic study are rather clearly defined and have a long-term tradition of regarding language phenomena from a level-oriented point of view. Thus, the subject matter and the material under study of these linguistic disciplines are more or less clear-cut. It gets more complicated when we talk about stylistics. Some scholars claim that it is a comparative

Types of narration/narrative compositional forms

TYPES OF NARRATION Author’s Narrative. Dialogue. Interior Speech. Represented Speech. Compositional Forms A work of creative prose is never homogeneous as to the form and essence of the information it carries. Both very much depend on the viewpoint of the addresser, as the author and his personages may offer different angles of perception of the same object. Naturally, it is the author who organizes this effect of polyphony, but we, the readers, while reading the text, identify various views with various personages, not attributing them directly to the writer. The latter’s views and emotions are most explicitly expressed in the author’s speech  (or the author’s narrative). The unfolding of me plot is mainly concentrated here, personages are given characteristics, the time and the place of action are also described here, as the author sees them. The author’s narrative supplies the reader with direct information about the author’s preferences and objections, beliefs and contradi
