Stilistika materjalid
pattern of habits and abilities that form his style. Fr. Poet Buffon: "Style is the man
himself."
Late 19th, early 20th century--appeared a utilitarian approach to style remotely linked
with ancient rhetoric. It became important to improve the style of a text and show the
author how better express his thoughts. (Vallins, Lucas)
There was also another tendency in that time--to regard style as a study of form
separated from content. (Saintsbury, Bally, Marouseau, Aronstein, Deutchbein)
50s, 60s--rapid growth of interest in stylistics. Various conferences--USA 1958, Poland
1960
70s, 80s--methods of structural linguistics became very popular (counting words etc.)
Present day--the use of computers has given stylistics a more exact basis. It seems quite
promising--it allows the scientists study the influence of one author on another.
Stylistics is a vigorous young science with a lot of prospect.
