language is used;it is a discipline that studies the styles of language in use.This definition,however,needs elucidation.The stylistics we are discussing here is MODERN STYLISTICS,a discipline that applies concepts and techniques of modern linguistics to the study ofstyles oflanguage use.It has two subdivisions:GENERAL STYLISTICS and LITER ARY STYLISTICS.With the latter concentrating solely on unique features of various literary works,and the former on the general features ofvarious types oflanguage use."Stylistics",in this book,is general stylistics:one that studies the stylistic features of the main varieties of language,covering the functional varieties from the dimension of fields of discourse(different social activities),formal vs informal varieties from the dimension of tenors of discourse differentaddresser-addressee relationships),and the spoken VS wriRen varieties from the dimension of modes of discourse(different mediums).Meanwhile,general stylistics covers the various genres of literature (fiction,drama,poetry)in its study.But it focuses on the interpretationofthe over~~l characteristies of respective genres.With selected extracts of literary texts as samples. PAGE2First,we need to clarify our views on language.We must be clear about what language is,or how we should look at language.There are many definitions of language,or many ways of looking at it.Modern linguistics which began with Saussure"S lectures on general linguistics in 1906-11 regards language as a system of signs.Meanwhile,American structuralism represented by Bloomfield regards language as a unified structure,a collection of habits.From the late 1950s on.the fact that"man talks"and the implications of this human capacity have been at the centre of investigation in the linguistic sciences.The transformational-generative(TG)linguists headed by Noam Chomsky have been concerned with the innate and infinite capacity of the human mind.This approach sees language as a system of innate rules(Chomsky,1957).The approach advocated by the systemic-functional linguists headed by M.A.K.Halliday sees language as a"social semiotic",as an instrument used to perform various functions in social interaction.This approach holds that in many crucial respects,what is more important is not SO much that"man talks"as that"men talk";that is,that language is essentially a social activity(Halliday,1978).
