The book is concerned with introduction of the most central 
concepts and analytical frameworks in stylistics and critical 
discourse. The description of stylistics and critical discourse as a 
branch of general linguistics and the main notions of stylistics and 
discourse are specified in initial stage. 
There are useful practical exercises on the use of stylistic 
devices, the analysis of functional styles, the stylistic analysis that 
help students advance and master how to examine texts from a 
linguistic perspective. They also help to understand the ways and 
means writers opt for in the process of producing the text and 
expressing it in the way they deem to best serve their 
purpose.Moreover, it focuses on those special skills which enable 
students to penetrate into the concept of the text, to reveal its 
implicit information and the author's world picture. 
It consists of nine lectures. Every lecture is followed by a set of 
tasks and questions, which help students to understand and revise the 
material in the most effective way.

Stylistics
is the science which explores how readers interact 
with the language of (mainly literary) texts in order to explain how we 
understand, and are affected by texts when we read them. 
Stylistics can be described as the study of style of language usage
in different contexts, either linguistic, or situational. Yet, it seems that
due to the complex history and variety of investigated issues of this
study it is difficult to state precisely what stylistics is, and to mark
clear boundaries between it and other branches of linguistics which deal 
with text analysis. 
What has been the primary interest of stylistics for years is the
analysis of the type, fluctuation, or the reason for choosing a given
style as in any language a single thought can be expressed in a number 
of ways depending on connotations, or desired result that the message is
to produce. Therefore, stylistics is concerned with the examination of 
grammar, lexis, semantics
, as well as
phonological properties and 
discursive devices
. It might seem that the same issues are
investigated by sociolinguistics, and indeed that is the case, however 
sociolinguistics analyses the above mentioned issues seen as dependant on 
the social class, gender, age, etc, while stylistics is more interested in the 
significance of function that the style fulfills. 
Moreover, stylistics examines
