Hornby states that, „style as the manner of doing, performing, or presenting something. It includes word choices, sentence structure, rhetorical devices, and expressions which are employed by every writer.‟(1995) Stylistics is one of the areas of applied linguistics and it is the study of language in literature. In stylistics, we studies literature with the linguistic point of view. Language performs various functions, linguistic as well as literary. Stylistics is „scientific in nature‟, because of its objectivity, precision and explicitness. It is also an empirical, systematic and analytical study of language in literature. Stylistics analyzes the language at various levels such as: 1. Phonological‒ that focuses on sound symbolism, alliteration, consonance, assonance etc. 2. Morphological‒ that deals with affixation, reduplication, and compound words. 3. Grammatical‒ that deals with the nominal style and the verbal style. 4. Semantic‒ concerns the problems of meaning, and meaning relations including synonyms and antonyms, and parallelism 5. Lexical‒ focuses on lexical choice and lexical devices; it concerns the typology …show more content…
S. R. Levin points out, „most, if not indeed all, of poetry‟s characteristics devices exemplify deviation in one way or another‟ (1965:225). This work is involves an exploration of the language of Insha‟s verse. The language of his poetry is characterized by exquisite arrangement of lexical items, elegance in the use of expressions and images, as well as metaphoric utilization of words from diverse disciplines. This study tries to reveal the word choices of the writer from linguistic point of view, particularly on the lexical deviation. When we use language, we follow its norms which mean that language has a standard. Whereas when poet and writer use the same language, they deviate from the norms. If a language is used as a standard language system, it will not be possible for poets to create new styles and expressions. Deviation takes place when a poet strikes to
Some of the techniques used include symbolism, and language style. Four
Authors use rhetorical strategies to express themes in their writing. Different rhetorical strategies help convey different themes with varying degrees of effectiveness. One way to determine the effectiveness of an author’s style is to compare their works to another. In order to determine whether Nancy Mairs or James Baldwin is more effective, it is necessary to evaluate the two side by side.
She also used different literary devices and writing elements in order to promote her idea. Dumas’ style is characterized by several elements including organization, literary devices, and sentence structure which made her writing effectively. Firoozeh Dumas used metaphors to illustrate her ideas.
The style of writing has changed drastically in excess of the past years; each person has their own writing modus operandi that helps to get their point from corner to corner or refer to all that jazz that they are trying to portray. Every author seems to have their own unique way of getting their message to their audience, for instance, they might share personal experiences related to their topic or analysis. Some authors might write about something affected them emotionally and influenced them to act a certain way.
What makes a piece of writing effective? A piece of writing includes many things that make it effective, such as the style that appeals to the reader and rhetorical devices used in the writing that make it much more interesting. In this piece of writing titled “ How to tame a wild tongue “ includes many of these things. Even starting with the title it makes me curious as to what the piece will be about. There are two devices Anzaldua uses effectively in her essay which are anecdotes and parallel structure.
The use of voice in the essay is presented by the narrator while describing emotions and feelings. Through this, the narrator makes the readers connect more with her experience with her mother. The technique is used effectively by the author because it added a lot more understanding to the readers knowledge of the essay. Another literary technique used is mood. Mood is an element which touches certain feeling or vibes in readers
Creations, like most things in life, are improvable. Ideas and theories are always evolving into different ideas or more sophisticated ones. Discourse communities is a term that has been debated over the years. Three of those debaters are James Paul Gee, James P. Porter, and John Swales. In this essay I will analyze what each of these writers see as the definition of a discourse community while comparing specific points that each of them have regarding their personal view on the subject.
Rhetorical analysis is an investigation into how someone uses his/her critical reading skills to analyze text. The objective of the rhetorical analysis is the study of how the author writes, instead of what the author wrote. At that point, we need to examine the method that the author uses to attain his goal. According to Jonah G. Willihnganz “A rhetorical analysis is an examination of how a text persuades us of its point of view. It focuses on identifying and investigating the way a text communicates, what strategies it employs to connect to an audience, frame an issue, establish its stakes, make a particular claim, support it, and persuade the audience to accept the claim”.
Besides the author and the reader, there is the ‘I’ of the lyrical hero or of the fictitious storyteller and the ‘you’ or ‘thou’ of the alleged addressee of dramatic monologues, supplications and epistles. Empson said that: „The machinations of ambiguity are among the very roots of poetry”(Surdulescu, Stefanescu, 30). The ambiguous intellectual attitude deconstructs both the heroic commitement to a cause in tragedy and the didactic confinement to a class in comedy; its unstable allegiance permits Keats’s exemplary poet (the „camelion poet”, more of an ideal projection than a description of Keats actual practice) to derive equal delight conceiving a lago or an Imogen. This perplexing situation is achieved through a histrionic strategy of „showing how”, rather than „telling about it” (Stefanescu, 173 ).
Written poetry is seen as more universal than personal as the reader, instead of the
In the article, " What Is 'Academic ' Writing," the author gives the meaning of the academic writing style. L. Lennie Irvin speaks that this writing style is argumentative and analytical and states the three characteristics. Academic writing characteristics includes: having clear evidence, the importance of reason over emotions or sensual perception, and having an imaged reader. The purpose of an argumentative essay is to hold a discussion to gain a better understanding of the topic. I have learned that I need to have an organized presentation and have strong evidence to write this specific writing.
It is a level where a reader is analyzing a text, he or she identifies the structure, type, authors vision
Modernist poetry refers to poetry written, mainly in Europe and North America, between 1890 and 1950 in the tradition of modernist literature. It is characterized by a self-conscious break with traditional styles of poetry and verse. Modernists experimented with literary expression and form, stick to Ezra Pound 's maxim to “Make it new”. This paper examines different methods that Ezra Pound used to break the boundaries of traditional poetry and the techniques he used to pave the way for later poets. To
Syntactic rules: They play the role of foundation like how the sentence should be structured. For example, it could grammar, or vowel use in a sentence. Semantic rules: This is the most important rule of language to govern because it gives the word a specific meaning. This way words can be used by most people. Yet, when these rules are used well like people misuse the word or overuse it.
Formal writing is taken to be a serious one without notations of relaxed and friendly language. According to (Heylighen and Dewaele 41) a formal style is usually characterized by accuracy, rigidity, detachment, and heaviness. This is in contrast to informal writing which is, on the other hand, direct, flexible, implicit and involved though less informative. Formality in Academic writing is highly regarded for it helps in evading misinterpretation and ambiguity in the resulting work. Formality is associated with some concept such as colloquial language (Hundt and Mair 223).such is a language that is used in day to day activities by ordinary people.
