7. GRAPHIC EXPRESSIVE MEANS AND STYLISTIC DEVICES
The amount of what we read has essentially influenced the way modern man views language and speech. It has relegated to the background of the primary and original form of language: oral speech. Thus when judging the language, scientists often have in view the written representation of oral speech. Printed texts do not only become an ideal standard of speech activity, but to a certain extent predetermine our linguistic judgment. It is almost impossible to free oneself from the bondage of graphic images. Indirect evidence of the importance of graphic images is their frequent use in speech which is reflected in fiction.
Graphic SDs and EMs have made primary audible speech fixed and visible, which helps to discover in it certain properties that could not have been noticed in fleeting oral discourse.
