Difference between literary and stylistic study in literature

In a stylistic study stylistician study of style and method that uses an author in his art. It is strengthening the language, the approach to literary texts – to see options and possibilities as a writer uses to identify in the weaving of a text. It is always a topic of discussion, that the benefits can be derived from the linguistic study. A literary work is verbal structures, and even many critics are interested in integrated social origin and history of literature, can hardly enter his office, without paying attention to words how it is organized. Literature is dependent on language, but the reverse is not necessary, as the child in the absence of man may be possible, but masculinity is impossible without a child. Any literary form is a combination of syntactic units. It may be the language without literature, but it can not be literature without language.

The main difference between the literary and stylistic studies, is that in an orgy of literary criticism of the notice, stylistic analysis, a reference to the work itself. The critic begins by pre-judgments about the author. There is no detailed description to support ideas. Longer courses are offered, but without proof of its importance. The standard of comparison is not going anywhere. In addition, literary studies have come largely on the basis of relevant events in the literary history of the personal life of an author, his sources of inspiration, political, social and economic age, and that Finally, at the end of considerations of the literary work itself. After an eye on a literary text, literary critic selects objects to be analyzed, or to connect to the particular genre or period. There are explicit value judgments of an individual critic, which is very different from another spokesman. The stylistic study assumes a positive and identifiable – the precise verbal expression. Graham Hough reviews, receive a literary critic, “examining the language of a writer has often been treated as a sort of icing on the cake, after all other aspects of his work. The style is essentially claiming based on the assertion that extends further be expressed by a writer of art, the depth of his emotional experience and the height of his intellectual knowledge by an examination of his art of words. “(39)

Stylistic study rescue subjectivity and pure objectivity of Impressionism in its orientation. It accepts a less impersonal and intuitive to interpret a text as a literary critic, based on the language of text – a scientific discipline. The emphasis on the linguistic method leads to reproducible impersonal truth. At any time, a person may obtain a copy of the application of the same stylistic approach procedures or to the same results. A stylistic analysis shows the dissatisfaction of what Halliday calls the “psychology amateur philosophy, social chairman or a fictitious story.” (70) argues against a philosophical level, how the text should be analyzed and what goal. A text is an open, anyone may approach without an eye on the sight and level of analysis criteria aligned, critics and writers themselves. His main concern is actually the verbal texture . The flight of the imagination is tested and is still based on the level of the base.

A literary critic is to build a model or looking for a moral, which is why an individual text as a point of stylistic analysis of how language leads to an arbitrary text. Thus, the interpretation offered by the stylistic analysis is required because it relates the facts of the text, not in general of the Court – Milton was a great poet, and next to Shakespeare. A stylistician jots dates of texts (language), they are analyzed on the basis of linguistic categories and theories. confirm a linguist, he did not pay for certain categories of preference over others, because its purpose is not entirely objective. It focuses on the aesthetic merits of the language such as rhythm, using figures of speech, etc.. Katie Wales believes “the aim of most style is not only the formal properties of text to describe herself, but show their functional significance for the interpretation of the text, or to relate the effects literary language” causes “, where they are deemed relevant … (453) Thus, it would affect the cooperation of all sections of stylistic devices to achieve a coherent interpretation of text.

Some critics object that the assessment of grammar in a text destroys the aesthetic level of review of a text as a complete unit. But the question arises – in fact the case, how something is ready to bring the joy of losing it? No, this is not the case every time. Imagine a well-made ship and its adjacent parts. Would the knowledge of how all the parts are connected to each other son to damage to the aesthetic pleasure? No, it enhances the enjoyment of seeing the ship with the knowledge of its parts and their functions. The same thing happens with text, it seems more fun and understandable for the acquisition of the co-relation of its parts manufacturing. The division of text into several parts is an opportunity for individual components on their own base and expand its relations with other components. It shows how each is woven together so skillfully that his position in the evolution destroys the beauty and rhythm of a text. Leonard B. Meyer interpreted:

The style is a reproduction of patterns, whether in human behavior that results from a series of decisions taken within a few sentences of constraints … An individual style of speaking and writing, for example, results largely lexical, grammatical and syntactical possibilities within that language and dialect he has learned to use, but not created. (21)

Thus, his research in the text to make the overall stylistic analysis methodology and tools descriptions. He moves from lexical, grammatical, semantic realm of a literary text.
