Stylistic Approaches and Textual Theories

Abstract

The present paper demonstrates that Stylistics has become multiple Stylistic Schools. Accordingly, stylistic approaches differed in their interpretations of literary texts. The three observed mainstream elements were (Creator, Text and Recipient). Furthermore, these constituted the milestones in demystifying the uniqueness of literary texts and its distinctive features. The current research asserted that the common textual feature from the lens of all stylistic approaches is dealing with ‘Style’ as a world of uniqueness which relates to a special use of language to break the semantic frameworks for relish sake. Moreover, stylistic approaches are concerned with choosing among alternative linguistic choices to express semantic productions in response to stylistic prompts that reflect the aesthetic power of language in unprecedented uses. However, Stylistics depends on linguistics to demonstrate structural transformations for the sake of aesthetic impacts. This research accentuates that literary texts are coherent textures based on relish, epistemological vacuum, and implied meanings towards a different structure led by unique deviations. The present research is composed of five aspects which are: First: Style (Difference in Conceptions). Second: Style (Aesthetic Choice and Extensive Representations). Third: Stylistics from Informitivity to Influence. Fourth: Literary Text Theories between Style and Stylistics. Fifth: Drawing Relations between Stylistics and Linguistics
