What is the object of Stylistics? What does Stylistics deal with?(the problem of the definition of the term “style”).

Although the term style is used very frequently in Literary Criticism and especially Stylistics, it is very difficult to define. There are several broad areas in which it is used.

The following table offers a summary of the most common definitions of style and the most influential approaches in stylistic studies as listed by K. Wales (Кatie Wales - Nottingham-based linguist) in her respected work A Dictionary of Stylistics (1990):

DEFINITIONS OF STYLE

Style can be seen as ► the manner of expressionin writing and speaking ►from the point of view of ‘language in use’ as a variation, i.e. speakers use different styles in different situations, literary v non-literary (register - systemic variations in non-literary situations: advertising, legal language, sports commentary, etc.). Styles may vary also according to medium (spoken, written) and degree of formality (termed also style-shifting) ►the setor sumof linguistic features ►a choiceof items ►deviationfrom a norm (e.g. marked poetic idiolects, common approach in the 1960s) ► a literary genre(classical style; realistic style; the style of romanticism).

(1) At its simplest, style refers to the manner of expression in writing and speaking, just as there is a manner of doing things, like playing squash or painting.

We might talk of someone writing in an ornate style, or speaking in a comic style. For some people style has evaluative connotations: style can be good or bad.

1. There is a widely held view that style is the correspondence between thought and expression. The linguistic form of the idea expressed always reflects the peculiarities of the thought. And vice versa, the character of the thought will always in a greater or lesser degree manifest itself in the language forms chosen for the expression of the idea.
