Phonostlylistics

• Phonostylistics - is a branch of linguistics which investigates the expressively stylistic properties of articulation and intonation. Phonostylistics - phonetical organization of prose and poetic texts.

What is Extralinguistic situation?

It is obviously necessary to try to explain what is meant by extralinguistic situation or factors. It is the sum total of factors which lie outside any possibility of signaling linguistic meaning.

These components distinguish situation as the context within which interaction (communication) occurs.
