 STYLISTS AND DISCOURSE ANALYSIS

     Discourse and Stylistics are linguistic disciplines that analyze text in an attempt to establish principles in explaining the particular choices made by individuals and social groups in their use of language (Ahmad 2) which, by extension, produces and reproduces meaning. Discourse analysis relies on a wide range of disciplines Stylistics focuses on texts and gives much attention to the devices, parts and figures of speech, for style in language.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE

 Language refers to any form of communication used to express, whereas literature is a written art form sought to have intellectual value. Language is a written and verbal form of communication, whereas literature refers to only the written form of communication. Language came into existence before literature. 

STYLE AND FUNCTION 

     Style is the tube-like structure that supports the stigma. A major function of style is to assist the process of fertilization – by allowing pollen tubes to travel to deliver sperm cells to the egg. 

POETIC DISCOURSE 

     Poetic discourse is literary communication in which special intensity is given to the expression of feelings, thoughts, ideas or descriptions of places or events by the use of distinctive diction (sometimes involving rhyme), rhythm (sometimes involving metrical composition), and style and imagination. Words like “gaudy day denies” and “Thus mellowed to that tender light” are great examples of poetic discourse. 

NARRATIVE DISCOURSE 

         Narrative discourse is a discourse that is an account of events, usually in the past, that employs verbs of speech, motion, and action to describe a series of events that are contingent one on another, and that typically focuses on one or more performers of actions. The critical importance of narrative discourse is that it provides a symbolic means for giving form to those events. 

DRAMATIC DISCOURSE 

    The dramatic discourse represents the updating of the language of a literary text, whose goal is the representation on stage, it is the updating of the dramatic text in a show. Dramatic language is language traditionally associated with drama. It incorporates theatrical vocabulary, designed to pack an emotional punch, and elicit strong feelings. Traditionally, it does so by mimicking these strong feelings, and presenting them in a hyperbolic fashion.
