Stylistics is the scientific study of language and literature and its branches. It links linguistic study to literary criticism. There are several branches of stylistics including computational stylistics, lexical stylistics, comparative stylistics, phonostylistics, grammatical stylistics, the function of stylistics, stylistic syntax, and individual style study. Stylistics helps to better understand language and its use in different contexts through the analysis of linguistic and textual elements.

10. Lexical stylistics:
Lexicalstylistics studies functionsof direct and figurativemeanings,
also the way contextualmeaningof a word is realized in thetext.
Lexicalstylistics deals withvarious types of connotations –
expressive, evaluative, emotive; neologisms, dialectal words and
theirbehaviourin thetext.
Comparative stylistics:
Comparative stylistics is connectedwith thecontrastive study of
more than onelanguage.It analyses thestylistic resources not
inherentin а separate languagebut at thecrossroads of two
languages,or two literaturesand is obviously linkedto thetheory of
translation.

11. Phonostylistics:
Phonostylistics is phonetical organization of prose andpoetic
texts. Here are included rhythm, rhythmical structure, rhyme,
alliteration, assonance andcorrelation of the soundform and
meaning. Also studies deviation in normative pronunciation.
Phonostylistics studies the way phonetic means of the language
function in various oral realizations of the language. The choice of
the phonetic means suitable to this or that situation depends on a
number of factors, among which extra-linguistics ones are very
important as they result in phonostylistic varieties.

13. Grammatical stylistics:
Grammatical stylistics is subdivided intomorphological and
syntactical stylistics.
• Morphological stylistics views stylistic potentialof
grammaticalcategories of differentparts of speech. Potentialof the
number, pronouns.
• Syntactical stylistics studies syntactic, expressive means,
word order and word combinations, differenttypes of sentences
and types of syntactic connections.Also deals withorigin of the
text, its division on theparagraphs, dialogs, direct and indirect
speech, theconnection of the sentences, types of sentences.

14. Function of Stylistics:
• Stylistics of decoding– deals with allsubdivisions of the
languageand its possible use (newspaper, colloquial style). Its object
- correlation of the message and communicativesituation.
• Stylistics of encoding - The shape of the information
(message) is coded and the addressee plays thepart of decoder of
the informationwhich is contained in message. Theproblems which
are connected withadequatereception of the messagewithout any
loses (deformation) are theproblems of stylistics of encoding.

16. Stylistic Syntax: Stylistic
Syntax is one of theoldest branches of stylistic studiesthatgrew out
of classical rhetoric. The materialinquestion lends itselfreadily to
analysis and description. Stylisticsyntax has to do with the
expressive order of words, types of syntactic links ( asyndeton,
polysyndeton), figures of speech (antithesis, chiasmus, etc.). It also
deals withbigger unitsfrom paragraph onwards.
Individual style study: It
studiesthe style of theauthor. It looks for correlations betweenthe
creative concepts of theauthorand the languageof his work.

17. Conclusion
Stylistics is the scientificstudy of languageand literature.
It has link withother different fields of sciences.
Study of stylistics includephonology, morphology, phonetics, syntax,
etc.
Stylistics helps to understand thelanguagein a differentand better
way.
Use of stylistics is also seen in ourdaily life as reading sign boards etc.
