Introduction: Stylistics as a branch of general linguistics
According to the Russian linguist I.R. Galperin, stylistics is a branch of general linguistics, which deals with the investigation of two independent tasks:
1. Stylistics studies the types of texts which are distinguished by the pragmatic aspect of the communication and are called functional styles of language.
2. Stylistics studies the special media of language which are called stylistic devices and expressive means [8].
1. Functional styles of language
The Colloquial Style is used in situation that allows certain deviations from the rigid pattern of literary speech.
The Belles–Lettres Style is subdivided into:
– Poetry – rhythm and rhyme.
– Emotive prose – a combination of literary and colloquial variants of the language.
– Drama - the language of plays mainly consists of dialogues.
The Publicistic Style treats certain political, social, economic, cultural problems. Its aim is to form public opinion, to convince the reader or the listener.
The Scientific Prose Style's peculiarities are: objectiveness, logical coherence, impersonality, unemotional character, exactness.
The Style of Official Documents is language of business letters and legal documents. This vocabulary is conservative. Morphological peculiarities are passive constructions [9].
