Publicist style
is a perfect example of the historical changeability of stylistic 
differentiation of discourses. In ancient Greece, e.g., it was practiced mainly in its oral 
form and was best known as oratorical style, within which views and sentiments of the 
addresser (orator) found their expression. Nowadays political, ideological, ethical, social 
beliefs and statements of the addresser are prevailingly expressed in the written form, 
which was labelled publicist in accordance with the name of the corresponding genre and 
its practitioners. Publicist style is famous for its explicit pragmatic function of persuasion 
directed at influencing the reader and shaping his views, in accordance with the 
argumentation of the author. Correspondingly, we find in publicist style a blend of the 
rigorous logical reasoning, reflecting the objective state of things, and a strong subjectivity 
reflecting the author’s personal feelings and emotions towards the discussed subject. 
Characteristic features of the style:

The aim 
To form public opinion, to convince the reader or the 
listener.

Peculiar 
features 
Coherent and logical syntactical structure, with the 
expanded system of connectives and careful paragraphing. 
Emotional appeal is achieved by the use of words with 
emotive meaning and personal approach and persuasion. 
It is also characterized by brevity of expression which 
becomes epigrammatic in essays.

In oratory, the special addressing and persuasive words and

person singular to express personal viewpoint and the use of 
SDs to make the speech more attractive. Argumentative and 
emotional words in journalistic articles are used.
