1. Explain what you understand
about the definition of stylistics.
Stylistics is defined as the study of
style in literary and verbal
language. It elaborates on how
literary meanings are created by
specific language choices and
patterning in a text. Stylistics
enables readers and listeners to
understand literature because its
method interprets literary texts.
Moreover, there are two main
goals of stylistics: one is to help
readers have their own
interpretation of a literary piece,
and the second is to help the
readers broaden their knowledge
and intellect of the linguistic
concepts of the language.
