Stylistics through practice

Аннотация

Stylistics through Practice is a guideline of practice which can be used alongside or after the theoretical course of the English Stylistics. The main purpose is to assess students acquire and use the knowledge and techniques necessary for the stylistic analysis of a text, i.e. find and interpret language structure, which carry some additional information of the emotive, logical or evaluative types, all serving to enrich deepen and clarify the text. It is focused on the stylistics which goes beyond the limits of the ordinary text and in this case it is based on the theory of interrelation between the text and general subsystems of the language. Text as an speech activity, oral or written, represents the different language means used by the speaker — phonetic, grammatical, lexical, syntactical; their combination in speech activity according to their functions. It consists of two parts, each containing a brief theoretical survey, questions for checking the students' comprehension, and exercises.
