sp;linguistics, Bloomfield’s  descriptive  linguistics  theory  and  Chomsky’s  transformational  and  generative linguistics all offer analytical methods for formal stylistics, while the method of functional stylistics  is  mainly  based  on  Halliday’s  systemic  functional  linguistics.  Regarding  to  the analysis of the literature works, the analytical method also derives from literary criticism and rhetoric, such as  rhetorical devices, narrative point of view, as well as speech and thought presentation  which  are  taken  into  account  in  stylistic  analysis.  The  seemingly  complicated method  is  precisely  the  advantage  of  the  stylistic  methodology:  it  is  not  constrained  by  a single methodology, but synthetically adopts various methods in terms of the object of study, so as to make the research bear more pertinence and flexibility. However, the variety of methodology does not  mean the disorder of the  procedure of stylistic  analysis.  Leo  Spritzer  (1970)  put  forward  a  stylistic  analysis  model  called “philological circle”, which is suitable for the analysis of novel: firstly search for the language features which deviate from the conventional language characteristics appeared in literature works and then interpret them based on the authorial psychological inner being, and finally, go back to  the details in  the text  so as  to  be confirmed or modified  with relevant  factors.

As an old and young subject, stylistics has always been attracting academic interest of scholars.

2.1   Style and Stylistics 
The issue of what style is has stimulates acrimonious dispute among stylistic theorists and  great  confusion  among  learners.  Dating  back  to  the  ancient  Greek,  great  philosophers such as Aristotle and Cicero have defined style as “form” and “eloquence”; modern linguist Nils Erik Enkvist (1973) summarizes the definition of style from different senses, viewing the issue  from  the  perspective  of  classic  rhetoric,  and  mainly  stressing  the  “effective  use”  of language; Leech and Short combine insights from monism, dualism and pluralism, rendering a multilevel  and multifunction view of style; Halliday’s definition of style is  based on his systematic-functional linguistics. History of literary and linguistic thought fails to arrive at a precise meaning to it. Different definitions express important views on style, but there is still something in common among them.  Generally speaking, the definition of style can be classified into two aspects: the broad sense and the restricted sense. In the broad sense, style refers to “the way in which language is used in 本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
