Usage of literary stylistic devices in works by Thomas More

Аннотация

It is a strange and widely held belief that literature, like all art, is merely a game of imagination, enjoyable enough, like a new novel, but lacking in serious or practical value. The opposite could not be further from the truth. Literature protects a people's values, and ideas—love, religion, duty, friendship, freedom, and reverence—are the most valuable aspects of human life. The Greeks were a magnificent people, but we retain only a few ideals from their enormous achievements, ideals of beauty in perishable stone and ideals of truth in imperishable prose and poetry. The Greeks, Hebrews, and Romans were defined by their ideas, which were maintained in their writings, and which dictated their value to future generations. Key words: generic stylistics, extra-linguistic reality, phenomena, deviant 1) Stylistic analysis is called stylistics by the author, or generic stylistics, if the goal is to reveal the writer's intention. The study of non-textual reality is usually the starting point for stylistic analysis (extra-linguistic reality). That is, the writer's personal, social, economic, and political variables impacted his beliefs and the characteristics of his creative work in a direct or indirect way. A number of schools and trends exemplify generic analytics, including: logical analytics and psychological analytics are two types of analytics. 2) If the reader's comprehension of the words of imaginative literature is the focus of stylistic analysis, the term "stylistics by the reader" or "stylistics of perception" is used. This type is also represented by a number of trends – the linguistics by L.V Shcherba, M. Riffater and the stylistics of decoding elaborated by I.V. Arnold. In information theory, the author's style is known as the stylistics of encode – the language is considered as the code to shape the information into the message and the supplier of information, and the author is the encoder (addresser). In this situation, the audience takes on the role of decoder of the information included in the message, and the issue is one of sufficient receipt of the message without any information loss or deformation, which is related to decoding stylistics. According to Alex Murkowski (Ukrainian linguist) in the most general way the object of style may be defined. The language system's communicative and nominative resources, as well as the rules of language selection and use for communicating information, thoughts, feelings, and emotions, with the goal of obtaining certain pragmatic consequences in many fields of human verbal communication. As a result, we can define stylistics as two functional styles of language (f.s.) on the one hand, and expressive means and style devices on the other. It is general knowledge that a language's richness and emotive dynamic energy are inextricably linked to the subjective ability to use the potential of linguistic units. Like any other language, English has its own style characteristics and stylistic devices that are frequently used to fulfill various objectives in communication. Representatives of the psychological Prague school of linguists (атeус, аек, авранек) and others emphasized on the importance of proper functioning as a linguistic component. As a result, they provided the groundwork for functional stylistics, which is now a recognized scientific discipline. The literary standard of the English language, like that of any other language, is not a homogeneous phenomena in terms of functional stylistics. The standards of English literary language have broken down over time into various sub-systems, each with its own set of characteristics. On the phonetic, morphological, syntactical, and lexico-semantic levels, various types of actual human verbal communication find immediate language representation. Functional levels of language are the sub-sequences indicated above. We'll stick to I.R. Galperin's definition of functional style, which Kukharenko has acknowledged. A number of functional styles can be recognized within the English literary language. The scientific prose style, the publicistic style, the newspaper style, and the belles-lettres style all belong to them (or belletristic style). Each of the enumerated styles has two manifestations (written and oral): an article and a lecture are two instances of the scientific style. All of the above-mentioned styles are styled out within the literary type of language. News broadcasts on radio and television, newspaper information, newspaper material, essays and publications – all of the above- mentioned styles are styled out within the literary type of language. Their operation is characterized by the speaker's deliberate approach to the selection of language means appropriate for specific communicative contexts, as well as the latter's official, formal, and preplanned nature. According to Fowler, different fields yield different language, most notably in terms of vocabulary Linguist David Crystal points out that Hallida
