This document defines and discusses several terms related to stylistics and literature. It explains that stylistics is the study of style in texts, particularly literary works, focusing on rhetorical devices and syntactical patterns that produce expressive language. Stylistics can be divided into literary stylistics, which analyzes non-linguistic aspects, and linguistic stylistics, which uses linguistic models. In sociolinguistics and literature, it discusses how style relates to language variations used by individuals and groups, as well as an author's expression and techniques for telling a story.
