Cíle předmětu
The course in stylistics presents a review of the distinctive features of the functional styles in English. It focuses on the stylistic means available in English at the phonetic, phonological, graphetic, morphological, syntactic, lexical and semantic levels and introduces the students to the study of the stylistics of a text. The practical part of the course focuses on the identification of the distinctive features of English functional styles on the basis of text analysis of specimens of the administrative style (forms, announcements, legal English), publicism (public speaking, advertising, newspaper writing, headlines), scientific prose style, the language of conversation and stylised dialogue.
The main objectives of the course is to familiarise students with the characteristic properties of English styles, the linguistic and paralinguistic means applied by writers and speakers, and the basics of stylistic theory. Students will also practice writing and analysing a chosen style.
