2.1. Functional Stylistics and its concern
Functional Stylistics is a part of Stylistics studying different styles of language, their linguistic peculiarities and functions, or to be more exact, its attention is centred on the message in its correlation (*connection of cause and effect) with the communicative situation.

A language style can be defined as a system of coordinative, interrelated and interconditioned language means, aimed at fulfilling a specific function of communication and ensuring a definite effect.
