What is Stylistics?
“is an elusive and slippery topic” and its
definition in general linguistic book is often
mistaken (Bradford 1997).
a. Alliteration
Alliteration means the repetition of the same
consonant sounds in close words. The
consonant sounds must be in the initial
position of words in order to be examples of
alliteration. (Norgaard, Busse, and Montoro
2010).
b. Arbitrariness
Arbitrariness is one of the features of
human language. It means that there is
no recognizable connections between the
sound signal and the message conveyed by
human beings. So, the word elephant, for
instance, has no connections with the
animal it symbolizes. (Aitchison 1999).
c. Assonance.
Is the opposite of Alliteration. It means
the repetition of the same vowel sound in
close words. Just like alliteration,
assonance possesses a cohesive effect due
to the fact that similar sounds connect
words together if they are in proximity.
Assonance is widely used in poetry,
newspaper headlines, advertising, etc.
d. Conceptual Blending Theory.
Conceptual blending theory is derived from
cognitive linguistic traditions, conceptual
metaphor theory and mental spaces
theory. It proposes that the construction
of meaning doesn't rely only on pre-
existing knowledge scope but also on
temporary knowledge structure (Jeffries
and Maclntyre 2010 144).
