Literary Stylistics concerns itself with the individual style of a writer, belonging to a definite literary school or trend. It studies a combination of expressive means used by some author, typical of a certain trend or some literary epoch and factors, determining poetic expressiveness.

The main concerns of Lingual Stylistics are the following:

• 
  The study of functional styles as subsystems of the literary language, distinguished from one another by a peculiar set of independent language means and fulfilling a specific function in communication.
  
• 
  The study of linguistic elements from the viewpoint of their ability to render emotions, feelings, additional associations and evaluations.
  

The two branches of Stylistics are interdependent, as the object of their investigation is the same (i.e. language).

Speaking about Lingual Stylistics, Olga Sergeyevna Akhmanova distinguished Language Stylistics and Speech Stylistics.

According to her, Language Stylistics studies: 1) the peculiarity of language subsystems, the specific vocabulary, phraseology and syntax; 2) expressive, emotive, evaluative features of various linguistic means.
