Linguistic features:
1. Terminology – is a specific part of voc-ry, when the w-s give exact names to the things they denote, one name for one notion. They are never emotional.
2. Literary and bookish w-s. Multiplicity, heteroginious. Most w-s have abstract or generalized m-ng.
3. Set of phraseology, which is common to all branches of science: “to raise questions”, “the field of anquiery”, “all that may be safely claimed”.
4. Lexical suppletion is when a str-ly neutral noun of native origin is correlated with a borrowed relative adj. Such w-s as sun-solar, mind-mental, lip-labial.
5. The w-building means. The majority of affixes are borrowed from Greek, Latin and French (philological existance; pancronistic – free to all times)
6. The use of attributive nouns: anty-aircraft, fire-control system
7. Subordination over coordination
8. A peculiar use of conjunctions (compound conj-s): moreover, thereupon...
9. A wide use of Passive voice
10. A frequent use of Verbals (Inf...)
11. SS is char-sed by some regularities in the composition (Galperin – 3 s-ce patterns: postulatory, argumentative, formulative)
12. Exact figures (цифра), quatations, references, foot-notes.
3) BS shares many features of scientific S. It’s also exact and it’s governed by tratitions. The aim of the BS is to reach agreement b/w 2 contracting parties, to state conditions binding 2 parties in an undertaking (сделка).
The most prominant features of the BS:
1. Very long and complicated s-ces
2. Some traditional formulars of archaic or foreign origin: in wittness whereoff (в подтверждении чего), status quo
3. Abbriviations: MA – Master of Art...
4. Complicated syntax with many dependant and paranthetic clauses, verbal constructions
5. Complete enumeration
6. The use of figures, symbols: $ - dollar
7. A definite fixed compositional pattern of documents and business letters to make them impersonal, without a mark of individual authership.
8. Complete absence of emotionally coloured and syntectical expressive means (heteroginious).
4) PS may not be called a FS because it’s limited historically. PS is the style of the 18-19th c. poetry, but since the 19th c. it has fallen into disuse. Still there is a set of l.means which may be contrasted with all others, because having been traditionally used only in poetry, they have poetic connotations and call up poetic atmosphere, when used in other contexts.
Features of Grammar:
1. Pronouns “though”, “tha”, “thee”;
2. Poetic voc-ry:
- nouns: Albian - England, woe – sorrow,
- verbs: behold – see, to dwell - to leave,
- adverbs: ne – never, save – except
- adj-s: fair – beutiful
- conj-ns: ere – before
This lexical layer is recognized and marked in the dictionaries with the w-d “poet.”, but must be used with a great caution.
Functions:
- to create poetic atmosphere
- to create humorous/ironic effect
5) PS include the following substyles: oratory (public speech), radio/TV commentaries, articles, essays, newspaper S.
The aim of the CS:
1. to give inf-n and to conviense, wether it’s the only correct one (it’s done by the logical argumentation)
2. to exact a constant and deep influence on public opinion (through emotional appeal)
The combination of the two dif.features brings it close to the style of scientific prose, on the one hand, and to the lit-re, on the other.
1. Scientific S: cohierant logical syntactical str-re, expanded system of connectives, careful paragraphing, many facts, figures, quotations and references.
2. Literary S.: connotative voc-ry, emphatic syntax, imagery.
The aim of the oratory S. is posvasion, it contains the combination of written and spoken variety of l. – standard pronunciation with variations of inf-n:
1. direct adress: “Ladies and gentlemen”, “Honorable members”
2. the use of the 2nd person pr-n “you”
3. contractions “I’ll”, “isn’t”, “you’re”
4. the use of colloquial voc-ry alongside elevative, bookish w-ds to rouse the audience and keep them in suspence.
The oratory uses stylistic devices:
parallel constructions often combined with repetitions, gradation, antithesis,
rhetorical questions,
simile, metaphor (traditional),
quotations, allusions
Essay – is a literary composition of moderate length on philosophical, social, esthetic or literary subjects (Priestly Clondike). It never goes deep into the subject and is char-zed by personal approach and the naturalness of expression. It presents a series of personal and witty comments.
