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.
Stylistics interacts with semasiology which area of study is meaning. Semasiology is related to the theory of signs and deals with visual as well as verbal meanings.
Meaning is attached to all the levels, to those of morphemes, words, phrases and texts. All stylistic effects are based on the interplay between different kinds of meaning on different levels. Types of linguistic meanings attached to the linguistic units may be named as grammatical, lexical, emotive, evaluative, expressive, stylistic.
In stylistic analysis we often have to do with a transfer of in a text (antonomasia, metaphor, metonymy, etc.). So Stylistics interacts with onomasiology (or onomatology),the theory of naming dealing with the choice of words when naming or assessing (оценивать) some objects or phenomenon.
Literary Stvlistics will overlap with areas of literary studies: the theory of imagery, literary genres, the art of composition, etc.
Decoding  Stvlistics borders culture studies, including the history of art, aesthetic trends and information theory,
In fact, stylistic research is concerned not only with linguistic means used as a result of some choice, but also with the motivation of this choice, psychological or sociological, the specific intention of the user of language, expressive value of his output and the final result of it.stylistic aspect proper can hardly be divorced from the cognitive. This confirms the idea of the synthetic nature of Stylistics. More often than not Stylistics does go beyond the borders of the sentence, beyond language as a system.
The advent of text linguistics did not take the stylistician unawares, because he has always had to do with texts. Textual dimensions have enriched stylistic analysis, and stylistic dimension in their turn have proved to be conducive to adequate treatment of the text.
Stylistics occupies a prominent place in the domain of communicative linguistics. An important aspect of communicative linguistics, a modern trend in Linguistic Theory and Research and one of the crucial factors of communication in any concrete act of communication is Pragmatics. Pragmatics shows an immediate relation to Stylistics.

Functional styles

Functional Styles Functional Style is a system of interrelated language means, which serves a definite aim in communication. Each style is recognized as an independent whole. The peculiar choice of language means is primarily dependent on the aim of the communication, on the function the style performs. As a matter of fact there exist a number of classifications of functional styles, but the most common one was introduced by I. R. Galperin. It includes the belles-lettres style, the publicistic style, the newspaper style, the scientific prose style, and the style of official documents. 1-SCIENTIFIC PROSE STYLE Features: • objective, precise, and mostly unemotional language means; words used in primary logical meaning • use of terms and learned words   • impersonality and generalized form of expression reflected in the choice of grammar and syntactic constructions • logical sequence of utterances • most developed system of connectives   • accepted sentence-patterns

EXPRESSIVE MEANS AND STYLISTIC DEVICES

LECTURE EXPRESSIVE MEANS AND STYLISSTIC DEVICES In linguistics there are different terms to denote those particular means by which a writer obtains its effect. Expressive means, stylistic means, stylistic devices and some other terms are often used indiscriminately. Thus, it is necessary to make “distinction” between Expressive Means and Stylistic Devices (SD). All stylistic means of a language can be divided into expressive means which are used in some specific ways and special devices called Stylistic Devices. The Expressive means of a language are those phonetic means, morphological forms, means of word building, lexical, phraseological and syntactical forms, all of which function in the language for the emotional or logical intensification of the utterance. These intensifying forms of the language have been fixed in Grammar and Dictionaries. Some of them are normalized and good   dictionaries label them as intensifiers. In most cases they have corresponding neutral s

TROPES AND FIGURES OF SPEECH The basic linguo-stylistic concepts – tropes and figures of speech have always existed in the European philological tradition. Tropes are based on the principle of a transferred meaning, when a word or a combination of words is used to denote an object which is not usually correlated with this word. The stylistic effect of figures of speech is based on the principle of unusual arrangement of linguistic units, unusual construction or extension of the utterance. Stylistics focuses on the expressive properties of linguistic units, their functioning and interaction in conveying ideas and emotions in a certain text or communicative context. Stylistics interprets the opposition or clash between the contextual meaning of a word and its denotative meaning. It helps to create images, as it can reflect the surrounding world by naming, qualifying and evaluating it. Image as a linguistic notion, is mainly built on such lexico-scmantic stylistic devices c
