The Subject of Stylistics as a Linguistic Discipline
Abstract
Style in all its meanings is the subject of stylistics — a section of linguistics that studies a) the expressive means and possibilities of language and b) the patterns of functioning (use) of the latter in various spheres of public life.
The active development of stylistics in the 20th century, particularly in its second half, was determined by a number of factors, the most important of which was the global reorientation of the humanities. The human being, or more precisely their behavior, particularly their speech behavior in specific communicative situations, became the primary object of comprehensive study and research. It was during this period that scholars developed the theory of speech activity, leading their research interests to extend beyond the structure of language and its units. Linguists, psychologists and methodologists increasingly turned not only to issues of situational language use but also to the psychological, cognitive, sociocultural and mental — that is, extralinguistic (relating to non-linguistic reality) — foundations of speech activity.
