INTRODUCTION
Language is a process of free creation; its laws and principles are fixed, but the manner in which the principles of generation are used is free and infinitely varied. Even the interpretation and use of words involves a process of free creation.
- Noam Chomsky
Chomsky’s quote designates language, but it can also be redirected towards the use of Stylistic Devices, otherwise known as figurative language. These “devices”, have some fixed rules or one may say formulae by the means of which those figurative structures are generated. The structure of the device is fixed, but the means, by which the stylistic effect is created, that one particle with emotional colouring that offers a spectrum of uniqueness to the whole structure, …show more content…
The conclusion sums up the results of the research. The bibliography lists the entire bulk of primary and secondary sources used for the elaboration of the research. The appendix includes a glossary of linguistic terms that were used in the thesis and the complete corpus linguistics used as basis for the research. We believe that the practical value of our work might lie in fact that it can be useful for specialists in the field of stylistics and literary theory, as well as methodology, because a research of Stylistic Means in contemporary literature helps highlight the zenith of their impact on the 21st century reader, and on the further development of figurative speech. It may also be useful to researchers in the field of stylistics, text interpretation and literary theory, as well as to practical translators. We also hope that our work could help those, who encounter difficulties studying, interpreting and reading into Stylistic Means in the context of the contemporary …show more content…
Basically, every single person who takes up a piece of writing introduces a trite, yet fresh style, specific to themselves. So perhaps it is not quite right to label an author’s style and break down into pieces. However, stylistic means, apart from bringing innovation and emotional colouring into the literary texts, seem to be well fixed into language.
In linguistics, there are different terms used to denote the particular means by which the writer obtains the effect of their own writing technique. Expressive means, Stylistic Markers, Stylistic Devices, Tropes, Figures of Speech, are all terms used to define and outline the style of a writer. The effect of these devices is unpredictable and depends solely on the writer’s intentions: whether they want to impress, to shock or to indulge the reader, they will use a particular way in their
