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. Operating at all linguistic levels (e.g.lexicology,syntax, text linguistics, and intonation), stylisticians analyze both the style of specific texts and stylistic variation across texts. These texts can be literary or nonliterary in nature. Considering all the disadvantages in the college English teaching, it is necessary that stylistics be applied on the college English teaching, which can stimulate students' learning, improve their cognitive English knowledge and relive their interest on English.展开更多

It is a social and linguistic phenomenon which has its own stylistic and rhetoric patterns and styles compared with other languages.The reasons for the emergence of Internet language can be summarised into three kinds: firstly, the netizens need distinct languages to show their personalities and enhance the impacts of languages such as sadness, angriness and happiness; secondly, the keyboard makes it hard to type the whole sentences when people online chatting or other activities; lastly, it is fast and convenient,especially when some online activities are time-consuming. Internet languages make the most use of the functions of linguistic deviation and satisfy the psychological and practical needs of netizens.展开更多

As an applied linguistics course, stylistics is eminently suitable for study and analysis of literature, because it clearly explicates literary effects through linguistic analysis. Many scholars have illustrated the use of stylistics analysis for the purposes of studying literature and teaching it, which is, pedagogical stylistics. However, this paper combines both the study of Stylistics as a discipline, which is the pedagogy of Stylistics, and the use of stylistics for teaching literature in general and poetry in particular. Namibia adopted English as its official language 22 years ago. Since then, both teachers and students have been struggling with the analysis of poetry. This study is an empirical one using qualitative methods in the author＇s research to determine the impact of the study of Stylistics on the understanding and teaching of literature in Namibia. The author uses traditional British poetry from the 16th century up to the 20th century alongside postcolonial poetry to assess the importance of culture in understanding poetry and examine the advantage of using stylistics to teach the poems that the author selects.展开更多

Since CET-4 and CET-6 direct college students in China, as learners of English as a foreign language, what to learn and how to learn English, they naturally reflect the importance of stylistics. This paper gives a stylistic analysis of the listening and reading part in CET-4 and CET-6 to show it is important for non-English majors to have some knowledge of stylistics.展开更多

How to apply stylistics theory in the literary analysis is important. The paper aims to provide some introduction of stylistics, its major domains and its contribution in analysing literature. It is suggested that characteristics of the language in a particular context can be identified within the guidelines of stylistic categories and that a better comprehension as well as appropriateness and effectiveness of the examined text can be achieved. With the help of stylistic analysis of novel The Portrait of a Lady （1996） by Henry James, its style can be appreciated from phonological, lexical and grammatical aspects.展开更多

Simple and Complex Sentences There is no general answer to the question whether a writer should use simple/one-clause sentences or complex ones. But choice between those two structures should not be made without considerations. Generally speaking, if the aim of the writer is to provide the reader with a complex structure of ideas and a complex reading experience, then complex sentences are preferred. If the writer uses a succession of simple sentences, there will be no obvious indication of relationship between the ideas conveyed in each separate sentence. Nor will there be any indication of the relative importance of the sentences. Therefore, simple sen-展开更多

It is a branch of linguistics concerned with the study of characteristic choices in use of language, made by different individuals or social groups in different situations of use. According to Martin （1991）, grammatical metaphor is the process by which the meanings are multiply-coded at the level of grammar. Meaning variation represented by lexicogrammatical changes are metaphor, and meaning differences represented by sound system may also bring about metaphorical phenomenon. This paper seeks to explore the stylistic value of intonation metaphor in functional stylistics by analyzing the distribution of intonation metaphors in both public speeches and news reports.展开更多

If approaching The Snows of Kilimanjaro from the perspective of literary stylistics, readers will find the following: The fiction seems fragmented and difficult to understand, but the employment of repetition, parallelism, symbolism, metaphor, pun, oxymoron and stream of consciousness technique makes it a unified whole. The repetition of"death"by Harry himself and the use of symbolism lead readers to understand the final ending of Harry: death out of gangrene. Also, through repetition, a character that has no love and who regrets over his waste of talent is presented to the readers. The use of stream of consciousness technique provides readers with a window into Harry's past life and his deeply poignant personal regret. Harry has the potentiality to make achievements in writing, but he, disillusioned by war, wasted his talent due to lying, laziness, incontinence, and indulgence in comfort life. He had died spiritually even before he got infected. The rescue by the plane is just Harry's illusion, and the rebirth of him may only be the author or the readers'expectation.展开更多
