Part 1 On the Notions of
'Style' and 'Stylistics'
In different situations of communication people use
different manners of expressing their thoughts, which, in the
Russian linguistic tradition, are usually called styles or functional
styles (функциональные стили), and in the linguistic tradition
abroad — reisters of s!eec" (#е$ист#ы #е%и)& Stylistics is a
branch of linguistics that studies the various functional styles of
speech and also the various e'!ressie eans an* *eices (+к
с-#есси.ные с#е/ст.а и -#ие0ы) of language. Apart from that,
some linguists apply the term 'stylistics' to the study of various
stylistic peculiarities of the language of wors of fiction !"#$%
&$"#$( )*+-"#/001 23$4.
5he distinction between a lofty style and a low style of speech
!/6"$1 $ 0$7$1 "#$&$4 was put forward as far bac as in
the 89,h century by :ichail ;omonosov. <owever, stylistics as
a special branch of linguistics was singled out only towards the
middle of the =>?' century. Academician @.@. @inogradov wasamong the first linguists to describe the different styles of speech
in respect to their functions ! aims4. <e distinguished, in
particularB
1) the colloCuial style, which has the function of commu%
nicating (функция общения);
2) the official and scientific styles, which have the function of
informing (функция сообщения);
3) the publicist (публицистический) and belle%lettres (худо-
жественно-беллетристический) styles, which have the
function of producing an emotional impact (функция эо-
цион!л"но#о во$действия) on the listeners.
5his classification undoubtedly reflects certain differences
between speech styles, although its criteria for the opposition of
functions are rather confusing. 5hus, for example, the functions
of informing and communicating are present in any

style !colloCuial, official, scientific, publicist, belles%lettres4, as
speech always contains some information and is used for
communicating. 5herefore it would probably be more precise
to say that the colloCuial style is characteristic of the situation
of *irect counication !when the listenerDinterlocutor is
present during speech4, while the other, more booish styles
!official, scientific, publicist4 are used in situations of in*irect
counication !without any listenerDinterlocutor presentduring speech4.
:oreover, production of emotional impact on the listenerD
reader is not so much the aim of a special style of speech, but
rather the aim of publicist or fiction !belles%lettres4 wors, which
represent particular literary genres (ж!нр%)& It goes without
saying that such wors !texts4 have also the function of
informing. Ene more point to mention here is that the study of
the language of various wors of fiction constitutes a special
branch in both linguistics and also in literature theory (лите-
р!туроведение)' and that fiction wors themselves generally
comprise samples (обр!$ц%) of both colloCuial style !the speechof the characters4 and of booish style !the speech of the
author4.
Two Types of Stylistic Information
Fvery style of speech brings about with it some additionalinformation about the conditions and peculiarities of communication. 5he choice of style may depend 84 on
particular relations between the participants of communication!interlocutors4 and =4 on a particular attitude of the speaer towhat he says. 5hese two types of stylistic information will beused below as the basis for the classification of styles.
Grom this point of view, functional styles express the firsttype of information, i.e. the relations between the interlocutors.In some situations these relations may be unrestrained (непри-нужденн%е)' friendly, easy%going or intimate, and in that casethe speaer chooses the so called inforal style of speech, viH.
4
the colloCuial style, which is a lower ' (сниженн%й) style of
speech, characteristic of oral communication. In other
situations the relations between the interlocutors may be
restrained (сдерж!нн%е)' strictly official, etc., and then the
interlocutors try to be deliberately polite (подчеркнуто веж-
лив%и)' and they choose the so called foral style !the lofty,
booish style4, which is generally characteristic of written
language. 5he formal style is used in the genres of official or business documents, of scientific or publicist wors. 5hese
genres, in their turn, may be further subdivided into more
particular varieties of genres for example, official documents
may represent an order, instruction, resolution, proceedings of a
meeting (протокол $!сед!ния)' report, application ($!явле-
ние)' etc.
It is natural for speaers to try to avoid any confusion of
formal and informal styles within one text, as such a confusion
might give the wrong idea of the relations between the
interlocutorsB e.g. a letter to a person of higher authority cannot
begin with words lie *' +, ./0 , ,*456' which would bear a sense of familiarity. Jut at the same time it is well worth
mentioning that there may be samples of speech !oral or written4
which are not clearly mared by features of any particular style,
and which can therefore be regarded as a ?neutral? style,
suitable for any communicative situations.
Jesides the formal and informal functional styles mentioned
above !which reflect the relations between interlocutors4, there
are also stylistic characteristics of speech that reflect the attitude
of the speaer to the content of his speech. 5his second type of
stylistic information concerns the emotional character of
speech, viH. the presence or absence of emotional or evaluative
(оценочн%й) elements. In this respect we can distinguishB
84 an emotionally coloured style of speech=4 a deliberately unemotional (подчеркнуто бе$эоцион!л"-
н%й)' or ?cold? style of speechK4 a neutral style of speech

hmotionally coloured speech maybe characteriHed, on theone hand, by a lofty emotional colouring (приподнят!я эо-цион!л"н!я окр!ск!)' such as solemn (торжественн!я)'
passionate (п!тетическ!я)' ironic, wrathful (#невн!я)'sarcastic (с!рк!стическ!я)' etc., or, on the other hand, by alower colouring (сниженн!я окр!ск!)' such as LocularDhumo%rous (7утлив!я)' derogatory (уничижител"н!я)' rude (#ру-
б!я)' disapproving (неодобрител"н!я)' endearing (л!ск!тел"-н!я)' etc.
5he lofty emotional colouring is characteristic of the publicistDoratory style, while the lower emotional colouring istypical of colloCuial style. 5he deliberately unemotionalcharacter of speech is typical of the formal !'cold'4 styles, suchas scientific, official or business speech, where the speaer tendsto mae his speech impersonal and avoid any emotional or evaluating elements.
Apart from the two directly opposed styles — theemotionally coloured and the deliberately unemotional — theremay also be intermediate, stylistically neutral speech, which is
neither emotionally coloured nor deliberately devoid of emotion. 5hus, there may be samples of speech that are neutral
both with respect to the relations between the interlocutors andwith respect to the speaer's attitude toward what he says.
Stylistic differences of any ind can be expressed by variouslanguage meansB phonetic, lexical or grammatical. Ene of themost vivid means is, naturally, the choice of vocabulary.

Mith respect to the functional styles, vocabulary can besubdivided into booish !literary4, which is typical of formalstyles !scientific, official, business, publicist4, and colloCuialvocabulary which is typical of the lower style !colloCuial4. Inaddition, there is always present in the language a stylisticallyneutral vocabulary, which can be used in all inds of style. Nf.B

5/0.< *4D04<*,4=)H on the other hand, its synonyms lie 099-:4,4' .B,= are neutral in this respect !have noconnotations4.
It should be noted that we do not include into the stylistically
coloured vocabulary words that directly express some positiveor negative evaluation of an obLect — хоро7ий' плохой' кр!си-в%й' некр!сив%й' прекр!сн%й' уродлив%й; 5,,' E.' ?/0<<'59& <ere the evaluation expressed maes up their denotationalmeaning proper !it represents the notion expressed by the word4,
but not an additional connotation. Also, it is easy to notice thatwords lie 59' .9' E0.<*9' ,40/9' =?0/E denote a highdegree of Cuality !negative or positive4, but this component of degree !of intensity4 is again part of their denotational meaning,not a connotation !which is understood as an additional elementaccompanying the denotational meaning of a word4.
As connotation proper !a special colouring4, negative
evaluation is present e.g. in the word =8./ (. =8./ 5*/9 > cf.the Russian стр!7ненк!я; both words have an ironic or derogatory colouring4 or ?/0<< > when it is used in phraseslie . ?/0<< E,CB.4 !humorous, ironical or derogatoryconnotations cf. also the Russian кр!с!вчик' кр!сотк!)' or .

5here is a derogatory connotation in the words <, .E/*8.<0'<, 8,48,8< (сф!бриков!т"' в%ду!т")' as different from the
neutral phrase 'to create a false story' !which expresses thenegative evaluation by the denotational meanings of the words4Bthere is a negative evaluative connotation in <, =9.40/ (клеве-т!т") — as different from emotionally neutral expressions lie<, *=<,/< .8<= (иск!ж!т" ф!кт%)' which again express the
9
idea of 'falsification' directly. In the sentence R,4< /0. <+*=
E. +,,: the negative evaluation is expressed directly !by the
denotational meaning of the adLective E.)' whereas in R,4<
/0. <+*= </.=+ the evaluation is expressed by the derogatory
colouring of the noun </.=+ > in other words, it is present here
only as a connotation thus, words lie </.=+' /,<' =< (J

unmared !"#$&$"#$3"$ 0Q(2$2/(0, 01#2(&T04.
Apart from that, as was already mentioned above, the
stylistic connotation of a word may be Lust a sign of a certain
functional style to which the word belongs, without carrying
any emotional or evaluative element. 5hus, sentences lie S+0

the stylistically neutral variants S+0 *= ?/0<<C5,,-9,,:*45 or O<

The Style of Scientific HorEs
5he genre of scientific wors exists for the most part within
the bounds of the written form of language !scientific articles,
monographs or textboos4, but it may also manifest itself in its
oral form !in scientific reports, lectures, discussions at
conferences, etc.4 in the latter case this style already has some
features of colloCuial speech.
5he aim of scientific speech is to present preciseinformation, therefore it reCuires the use of special terminology
which does not admit of polysemy or of figurative meanings, of
emotional connotations !all of which is typical of colloCuial
and publicist styles4. 5he author of scientific wors tends to
sound impersonal, hence the use of the pronoun ?MF? instead
of ?I?, of impersonal constructions, of the ]assive @oice !which
allows the author not to mention himself or any other subLective
participants of the events described4.
5he syntax of scientific speech is characteriHed by the use
of complete !non%elliptical4 sentences !unlie the syntax of
colloCuial speech4, the use of extended complex and compoundsentences without omission of conLunctions, as these connectors
enable the author to express the relations between the parts more
precisely !as different from the asyndetic connection typical of
colloCuial speech4 the use of booish syntactic constructions,
such as complexes with non%finite forms of the verb the use of
extended attributive phrases, often with a number of nouns used
as attributes to the following head%noun ![oun [oun

P&%licist /Oratory+ Style
5his is a style used in public speeches and printed publicist
wors, which are addressed to a broad audience and devoted to
important social or political events, public problems of cultural
or moral character. Such communication reCuires clarity in the
presentation of ideas, its aim is to convince the readersDlisteners
2
of the truth of the ideas expressed, and at the same time to produce an emotional impact !impression4 on the audience.5hus the main features of thi s style are clear logicalargumentation and emotional appeal to the audience. In thisway the publicist style has features in common not only withthe style of official or scientific wors, on the one hand, butalso with some elements of emotionally coloured colloCuialstyle, on the other hand. Indeed, in this case the author has no
need to mae his speech impersonal !as in scientific or officialstyle4 — on the contrary, he tries to approximate his text to livelycommunication, as though he were taling to people in directcontact. Accordingly, the publicist style is characteriHed by theuse of logically connected syntactic structures in their full form,i.e. complete extended sentences connected by conLunctionsclearly showing the relations expressed, but at the same time,an emotional impact is achieved by the use of emotionallycoloured vocabulary, Lust as in belles%lettres style !the style of fiction wors4 and in colloCuial style.
]ublicist !oratory4 style reCuires eloCuence !2("023$4,and such wors are often ornamented with stylistic devices andfigures of speech !see ]art K4. Some authors of publicist worsmay prefer verbosity (но#ословие)' others — brevity of expression, often resembling epigrams.
5here are various genres in which the publicist style isemployed, such as public speeches, essays, pamphlets, articles
published in newspapers or magaHines, radio and 5@commentaries, etc.
5he oral variant of publicist style — the oratory style proper !which is used in speeches and mass media commentaries4, isespecially close to spoen language in its emotional aspect. It isaimed at logical and emotional persuasion of the audience. As
there is direct contact with the audience, it allows the speaer tocombine effects of written and spoen varieties of language.Gor example, the author can use direct address !the pronoun of the second person ?ou?4, and often begins his speech withspecial formulas of address to the audienceB W.*0= .4

[owadays an essay is usually a ind of feature article (те-
!тическ!я ст!т"я) in a magaHine or newspaper. It is
characteriHed by clarity and brevity of expression, by the use of
the first person singular, by expanded use of connecting words
!to express clearly all the logical relations in the development of
thought4, and abundant use of emotionally coloured words, of
metaphors and other figures of speech.
8e5s!a!er Speech
Fnglish newspaper writing dates from the 8?' century. Girst
newspapers carried only news, without comments, as
commenting was considered to be against the principles of
Lournalism. Jy the 8lh century newspaper language was
recognised as a particular variety of style, characteriHed by a
specific communicative purpose and its own system of language
means.
5he content of newspaper material is fairly diverse, itcomprises news and commentary on the news, press reports and
articles, advertisements and official announcements, as well as
short stories and poems, crossword puHHles and other such lie
material for entertainment of the reader.
24
[ewspaper style includes a system of interrelated lexical,
phraseological and grammatical means serving the purpose of
informing, instructing, and, in addition, of entertaining the
reader. As a result of this diversity of purposes, newspapers
contain not only strictly informational, but also evaluative
material — comments and views of the news%writer !esecially
characteristic of editorials and feature articles4.
As the newspaper sees to influence public opinion onvarious social, political or moral matters, its language freCuentlycontains vocabulary with evaluative connotation, such as <,.99050 (<+0?0/=,4 +, .990509 8,BB*<<0 <+0 8/*B0)' or <, 89.*B(<+0 004.4< 89.*B= <, :4, 4,<+*45 .E,< *<)' which cast somedoubt on what is stated further and mae it clear to the reader that those are not yet affirmed facts. A similar idea is expressed
by special grammar structures, e.g. P+0 B.4 *= =.* <, +.D0 <.:04 ?./< *4 <+0 ..*/' or P+0 8+*0 , <+0 ?,9*80 *= U,<0 .= =.*45&&&
Fvaluation can be included in the headlines of news items(Z,D0/4B04< 5,*45 E.8: ,4 *<= ,4 ?/,B*=0=) and in thecommentary on the news, in feature articles, in leading articles
!editorials4, where emotionally coloured vocabulary is widelyemployed. 5he characteristics mentioned are common todifferent genres of publicist style. [evertheless, the informativecontent generally prevails in newspaper material as comparedwith purely publicist or oratory wors.
En the whole we may single out the following features

Simile (сравнение)
5his is a comparison creating a vivid image due to the factthat the obLect with which we compare is well%nown as an
example of the Cuality in Cuestion. 5he characteristic itself may be named in the simile, e.g. when the conLunction ?as? is usedB!.=) E0.<*9 .= . /,=0; =<?* .= .4 .==; =<EE,/4 .= .

Letonymy /Q@986+
:etonymy denotes a transference of meaning which is
based on contiguity of notions (перепое' основ!нн%й н! сеж-
ности понятий' явлений)' not on resemblance. In cases of
metonymy, the name of one obLect is used instead of another,closely connected with it. 5his may includeB

5his is a stylistic device that plays upon two differentmeanings of the word — the direct and the figurative meanings,thus creating a pun (и#р! слов)& 5he effect comes from the use
of a word in the same formal !grammatical4 relations, but indifferent semantic relations with the surrounding words in the
phrase or sentence, due to the simultaneous realiHation !in onetext4 of the literal and figurative meaning of a wordB

Irony
Irony, lie the stylistic device of Heugma, is based on the
simultaneous realisation of two opposite meaningsB the
permanent, ?direct? meaning !the dictionary meaning4 of words
and their contextual !covert, implied4 meaning. Osually the
direct meaning in such cases expresses a positive evaluation of
the situation, while the context contains the opposite, negative
evaluationB , 09*5+<9 > <, *4 ,/=09 *4 . ,/0*54 8,4</ *<+,<

Types of Stana /@W= ?@790A ?@790F+
5he most common stanHa, one consisting of four lines, is
called a Cuatrain !(#20, четверости7ие); the more seldom
one, consisting of two, is called a couplet (двусти7ие)&
5here is also a 1alla* stanHa, typical of poetic follore,
especially that of the 8th —8th centuries. A ballad is a poem
with a plot (сIжет)' which tells some story. 5he ballad stanHa
usually has four lines, of which the first and third lines containfour feet, while the second and fourth — three or two.

5he most nota1le e'!onents of positive liberty wereRousseau and ant. 5hey argued that genuine freedom is

*octrine of natural rights which claims that individuals have certaininaliena1le rights which should not be transresse* by anyindividual, group or government. Such rights are 'liberties', thatis, rights to be free from control, and are most iorously supportedin the doctrine of libertarianism.

All, too, will bear inmind this sacred principle, that though the will of the maLorityis in all cases to prevail, that will, to be rightful, must bereasonable that the minority possess their eCual rights, whicheCual la5s must protect, and to violate which would be

bled and suffered, we have yet gained l ittle if we countenance a political intolerance as despotic, as wiced, and capable of as bitter and bloody persecutions. uring the throes andconvulsions of the ancient world, during the agoniHing spasmsof infuriated man, seeing through blood and slaughter his long%lost liberty, it was not wonderful that the agitation of the billowsshould reach even this distant and peaceful shore that thisshould be more felt and feared by some and less by others that
this should divide opinions as to measures of safety. Jut everydifference of opinion is not a difference of principle. Me havecalled by different names brethren of the same principle. Me areall republicans — we are all federalists. If there be any among uswho would wish to dissolve this Onion or to change itsrepublican form, let them stand undisturbed as monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tolerated wherereason is left free to combat it. 8 now, indeed, that some honestmen fear that a republican government cannot be strong thatthis government is not strong enough. Jut would the honest
patriot, in the full tide of successful experiment, abandon agovernment which has so far ept us free and firm, on the
theoretic and visionary fear that this government, the world's best hope, may by possibility want energy to preserve itself\ Itrust not. I believe this, on the contrary, the strongestgovernment on earth. I believe it is the only one where everyman, at the call of the laws, would fly to the standard of the law,and would meet invasions of the public order as his own personalconcern. Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted withthe government of himself. Nan he, then, be trusted with thegovernment of others\ Er have we found angels in the forms of ings to govern him\ ;et history answer this Cuestion.
