Week 1: Introduction
Stylistics is the scientific study of style that determines how readers meet with the language of texts in order to explain how one understands and is affected by texts when reading them. More properly, stylistics is concerned with the linguistic features of a text, i.e. grammar, lexis, semantics, as well as phonological properties and discursive devices.
This section throws some light on the objectives of style analysis and historical development of stylitics as a discipline of study. It highlights various perspectives on style and stylistics. It introduces the shift of focus of stylistics from literary to nonliterary text and from 'form to function'.
