What
is stylistics? How is it related to Linguistics?
Stylistics:
Stylistics is
the study of linguistic style,
whereas (theoretical) Linguistics is
the study of linguistic form.
The term 'style' is used in linguistics to
describe the choices which language makes available to a user, above and beyond
the choices necessary for the simple expression of a meaning.
The Relation between Stylistics and Linguistics:
Stylistics is the study and
interpretation of texts in regard to their linguistic and tonal style. As a
discipline, it links literary criticism to linguistics. Stylistics is the
description and analysis of the variability of linguistic forms in actual
language use. The concepts of `style' and `stylistic variation' in language
rest on the general assumption that within the language system, the same
content can be encoded in more than one linguistic form. It does not function
as an autonomous domain on its own, but it can be applied to an understanding
of literature and journalism as well as linguistics. Sources of study in
stylistics may range from canonical works of writing to popular texts and from
advertising copy to news, non-fiction, and popular culture, as well as to
political and religious discourse. Linguistics is the scientific study of language.
There are broadly three aspects to the study, which include language form,
language meaning, and language in context.......................................................
