Stylistics is a method of textual interpretation in which primacy of

place is assigned to language. The reason why language is so important to stylisticians is because the various forms, patterns and levels that constitute linguistic structure are an important index of the function of the text.

Слайд 3

The preferred object of study in stylistics is literature, whether that

be institutionally sanctioned ‘Literature’ as high art or more popular ‘noncanonical’ forms of writing. The traditional connection between stylistics and literature brings with it two important considerations, though.

Слайд 4

The ﬁrst is that creativity and innovation in language use should

not be seen as the exclusive preserve of literary writing. Many forms of discourse (advertising, journalism, popular music – even casual conversation) often display a high degree of stylistic dexterity, such that it would be wrong to view dexterity in language use as exclusive to canonical literature.

Слайд 5

The second consideration is that the techniques of stylistic analysis are

as much about deriving insights about linguistic structure and function as they are about understanding literary texts. Thus, the question ‘What can stylistics tell us about literature?’ is always paralleled by an equally important question ‘What can stylistics tell us about language?’.

Слайд 6

Stylistics is interested in language as a function of texts

in context, and it acknowledges that utterances (literary or otherwise) are produced in a time, a place, and in a cultural and cognitive context. These ‘extra-linguistic’ parameters are inextricably tied up with the way a text ‘means’. The more complete and context-sensitive the description of language, then the fuller the stylistic analysis is.

The purpose of stylistics
Why should we do stylistics?

Слайд 8

To do stylistics is to explore language, and, more specifically, to

explore creativity in language use. Doing stylistics thereby enriches our ways of thinking about language and, as observed, exploring language offers a substantial purchase on our understanding of texts.

Слайд 9

STYLISTICS AND LEVELS OF LANGUAGE
Basic categories, levels and units of analysis

in language that can help organize and shape a stylistic analysis.

Слайд 10

Language in its broadest conceptualisation is not a disorganised mass of

sounds and symbols, but is instead an intricate web of levels, layers and links. Thus, any utterance or piece of text is organised through several distinct levels of language.

Levels of language

Слайд 12

Слайд 13

These basic levels of language can be identiﬁed and teased out

in the stylistic analysis of text, which in turn makes the analysis itself more organised and principled.

Слайд 21

Metaphor is for most people a device of the poetic imagination

and the rhetorical flourish—a matter of extraordinary rather than ordinary language. Moreover, metaphor is typically viewed as characteristic of language alone, a matter of words rather than thought or action.
