What is Stylistics in Linguistics ?
• Stylistics is the description and analysis of the vari- ability of linguistic forms in actual language use.
• Stylistics, a branch of applied linguistics, is the study and interpretation of texts of all types and/or spoken language in regard to their linguistic and tonal style, where style is the particular variety of language used by different individuals and /or in different situations or settings.
• Operating at all linguistic levels (e.g. lexicology, syntax, text linguistics, and intonation), stylisticians analyze both the style of specific texts and stylistic variation across texts.

What is stylistics in literature?
• Stylistics is a branch of applied linguistics concerned with the study of style in texts, especially, but not exclusively, in literary works.
• Also called literary linguistics, stylistics focuses on the figures, tropes, and other rhetorical devices used to provide variety and a distinctness to someone's writing.

What are the types of stylistics?
• 1. General Stylistics or Stylistics:
• This is stylistics viewed from thebroad notion of the linguistic studyof all types of linguistic events fromdifferent domains of life. It is used asacover term for the analysis of non-literary varieties of language, orregisters(Wales 458). Hence, one canundertake a stylistic study of areligioussermon, a sport commentary, a legaldocument, a political speech, abusiness conversation, etc.

• 2. Literary Stylistics:
• This is the type of analysis thatfocuses on literary texts. In thebroadsense, such a study may be linguisticor non-linguistic, but in the morespecialized sense, it is essentiallylinguistic. To make this linguisticorientation clearer, the terms
• linguistic stylistics or linguostylistics

• 3. Textualist Stylistics(Textlinguistics):
• This is the type of stylistics which engaged in an “empty technology” of a text. It merely identifies the raw linguistic patterns of a (literary) text such as the phonological, grammatical, lexical and semantic patterns without attempting to relate these patterns to the message in the text. This approach was popular at the early stages of the evolution of stylistics as a discipline where linguists viewed literary texts merely as linguistic events and felt literary interpretation, involving thematic concerns or artistic significance, were not of concern to them as linguists, especially as they involved an understanding of the artist’s intention which was hardly subject to the objective verifiability emphasized by the scientific claim of modern linguistics.

• 4. Interpretative Stylistics:
• This is the practice engaged in by most stylisticians nowadays. It involves the analysis of the linguistic data in a (literary) text, the unravellingof the content or artistic value of the text and the marrying of these two. As depicted in Leo Spitzer’s philological circle, the interpretative stylistician relates linguistic description to literary appreciation by seeking artistic function and relating it to the linguistic evidence or first seeking the linguistic features in the text and relating it to the artistic motivation. The belief is that the linguistic patterns are chosen deliberately to express certain artistic or literary goals and that the two can hardly be divorced.
