中华英语 As a branch of linguistics, stylistics also develops with and is influenced by the other schools and trends of linguistic study. The 1960s was a decade of formalism, the 1970s a decade of functionalism, the 1980s a decade of discourse stylistics, and the 1990s a decade in which socio-historical and socio-cultural stylistic studies are a main preoccupation. (Carter and Simpson, 1989) In addition to this, there is a trend of "pluralheads development‖ (Shen, 2000), i.e. different schools of stylistics compete for development and new schools emerge every now and then. The cognitive approach to literature is a case in point.
《英语文体学》前七章总结
《英语文体学》前七章总结第一章：关于文体学。
文体学是一门研究语言风格的学科，我们所讲的是现代文体学，其又分为一般文体学和文学文体学。
前者主要是各种文体的一般特征，后者是各种文学作品的特别特征，两者研究有重叠。
语言是人们进行社交的工具，包括：言语行为，言语事件和文本。
言语事件包括三要素：实体，形式和情境。
语言具有多样性，不同的场合使用不一样的语言，承担着不同的功能，如语言的指示功能，表达功能和文本功能。
风格，是个人或群体的语言使用习惯。
学习文体学使我们对不同的语言特色或风格有个系统的知识，熟悉不同文学题材的不同特点，深化我们对文学作品的理解力和欣赏力。
此外，文体学给翻译和语言教学也提供了有效地方法。
文体学作为一门学科并不是独立存在的，它与多个学科如修辞学，文学评论等有着密切的关系。
第二章：文体学学习的必要性。
文体学作为一门研究语言风格的学科，分析不同的语言特色。
系统学习文体学，有助于培养表达的准确感。
在不同的场合使用不同的语言。
这对学外语的学生尤为重要；文体学有助于提高我们对文学作品的理解力和欣赏力。
通过对文本的研究。
涉及到描写，理解文章体裁特点和艺术表现力，这一过程就是提高我们理解和欣赏的过程；文体学有助于翻译保有原作的原滋原味。
通过分析通篇的风格，包括词，句子的特征，修辞，陈述方式以及文章的主题译者可以更好的把握原文的特色，使得译文在思想上，风格上更贴近原文，有其韵味。
第三章：语言变体文体学把语言变体主要分为方言变体和语域变体。
前者是由于不同的地域风俗习惯形成的，而后者是由于场合的不同而形成的。
方言变体和语域变体是相互依存的。
方言变体又分为：个人习语，即个人用语习惯；短暂性方言，每个时代的有其特别的语言特点，语言是时代的烙印；地域方言，不同地域的不同方言，每个地方读有其不同的说话习惯；社会方言即社会不同阶层如富人和穷人，使用不同的语言；和标准方言，方言也有标准和不标准之分。
语域变体在文体学中，又包括语场，语式（说和写）和语旨。

《英语文体学》1-7总结
《英语文体学》1-7总结-CAL-FENGHAI-(2020YEAR-YICAI)_JINGBIAN第一章文体学相关研究内容文体学分为普通文体学和文学文体学，二者有重叠部分，但在此我们所研究的是普通文体学，文体学研究的是语言风格，对语言，人们的理解有很多种，但不管哪种说法，无可否认，语言都是人类表达思想、互相交流的手段，并且有很多具不同意旨的言语事件；风格是与说话人的语言习惯、时代背景相关的，是人门特有的表达方式，因人而异，对语言起到一定修饰作用并且关系到语言表达的有效性。
因此，文体学研究会涉及各种语言变体及相关特征、功用。
文体学对提高理解力和鉴赏水平有很大帮助。
此外，文体学还与语言学、修辞学及文学评论等相关联。
接下来的章节中将具体阐述相关内容。
第二章文体学研究的必要性学习文体学可以提高我们语言使用的精确性，犹如不能在婚礼上穿牛仔装一样，语言使用要合乎当时、当地的具体环境，这就涉及文体学中的言语事件；学习文体学有利于提高我们对文学作品的理解与鉴赏水平，因为文学创作中，作者不可避免会对作品的语言、风格做选择，在文学评论三部曲（描述、解读、评估）中会涉及相关内容；文体学对满足翻译适应性有很大帮助，翻译很难做到完全对应，但基本原则一致是必须的，如作品基调、作品体裁等一致。
以上文体学内容中都有涉及。
第三章语言变体在不同的社交场合，有不同的约定俗成的语体。
根据特定场合的语言习惯及其中特定说话人的语言使用，语言变体可以分为两种：方言变体和语域变体。
方言变体与不同的语言使用者相关，分为个人方言、时间方言、地域方言、社会方言和标准方言；语域变体与不同社交场合相关，其构成要素是语场、语式和语旨。
两种变体并非独立存在而是有一定的相关性，比如，在同一种族、同一领域或同一社会地位，为了增进了解，说话人可能会选择这一具某种共同特征人群的行内语言。
此外，从语言变体中，我们还可以获知说话人的某些相关信息，如职业、国家和说话意旨等。

Realistic writers:
downplay plot in favor of details of everyday life; aim at a sort of writing in which the familiar and
ordinary aspects of life are depicted in a straightforward manner designed to reflect the true picture of life; prefer simple, clear and direct prose; apply the techniques of selection, deletion, concentration and reorganization, often in the form of slice of life.
Frank O’Conner: “Guests of the Nation” is a story about “conflicts between what is natural and what is
unnatural.”

The chosen expression is the style .another is that the choice refers to the choice of meaning. The choice of language is at the same time a choice of meaning and a choice of style .2,what is the significance of studying the style of language in learning and teaching English?Anwser, the answer is that if we want to use language appropriately in different situations , we need to study style .as foreign language learners, if we disregard the rules of using what variety of language in what occasion , or fail to obey them through ignorance , language can become instead a barrier to successful communication . Therefore its necessary to have a clear awareness of how language should be used in different types of situations especially in unfamiliar situations.3, what factors can result in differences in styleAnswer , 1, the different types of vocabulary create different images of the events in the reader’s mind, so they can result in different ,people living in different periods of time in history will also speak differently ,and that will result in a different style.Chapter21, explain the following terms1),foregrounding: the stylistically significant features have to be prominent and motivated ,that is ,foregrounded.2),incongruity: the linguistic features depart from the normal use of language ,breaking the rules grammar ,spelling ,pronunciation.3)deflection : the linguistic features don’t depart from the established grammatical, lexical and logical rules and principles ,but have an unexpected high frequency of occurrence.4),field; its concerned with what is happening ,including the subject matter,the events happenings,going-ons, the content ,etc5)tenor: its concerned with who is taking part in the exchange of meaning ----the relationship between the speaker and the listener ,their relative status,their attitude,and their role relations .6)mode: its concerned with how the interaction is conducted ,that is whether it is written or spoken ,or whether it is expressed by phonic substance or graphic substance.2,question for discussion2)in rhetorical series,the number of items can influence the stylistic to analyze the causes on the basis of social culture.Answer :different numbers of words can produce different stylistic effects in the appropriate contexts. Two items express assertion ,that is ,it is just this ,not that .In appropriate situations three items can produce ethic ,persuasive, and representative effect. Four or more items in a series stress a large number of the concrete things ,and these can produce an imagery in the mind of the reader that the large amount of things constitutes a significant situation in which certain aspect are highlighted. Another function of the rhetorical series is to use concrete items to highlight abstract concepts so that the abstract concept can be expressed in concrete ,lively and vivid way to enhance the aesthetic value of language.3)what factors affect the writer’s selection of words and styleAnswer : five criteria for the selection of words :whether they are familiar or not familiar, whether they are concrete or abstract, whether they are single or more ,whether they are short and simple. Or long. Whether they are Anglo –saxon words or latin words .field ,tenor ,mode affect the writer’s selection of style.4)what is the criterion used to classify wordsAnswer :we can use more systematic way to classify word according to register and dialect .register:field ,tenor , mode .dialect: regional dialect,such as London dialect;social dialect such as dialect of age, race, dialect such as od English .5)through what channels can words be used to achieve transferred meaning?Answer :simile :x is like Y, eg as busy as bee. Metaphor: X is Y ,eg he is a pig.Synecdoche eg many hands represent the people who work with their hands . Metonymy eg purse represent money.Chapter31,explain the following terms1),chiasmus:chiasmus is formed by inverting the word order of the second part of a parallel structure,so it forms a kind of antithetical structure. Eg:let us never negotiate out of fear,but let us never fear to negotiate.2)antistrophe: it is the repetition of the same items but in inverted order ,eg:what’s polly to me,or me to polly3)epizeuxis:it is a continuous repetition for high lighting a particular feature.4)ploce: the repetition is not continuous , but intermittent or dispersed in the text.5)loose sentence: put the major idea first and than the illustration .such a sentence is easy to grasp .6)periodic sentence:a periodic sentence can be used to create suspense,or expectation, thus drawing the listener’s attention to the end of the can be used to produce humorous and emphatic effect .2,question for discussion1),there are many types of syntactic deflection ,but they have one thing in common :recurrence of structures. How is syntactic deflection classified?Answer :there are two type of syntactic deflection :the unexpected high frequency of occurrence of a certain type of sentence; and the overregular occurrence of a particular pattern .2)the high frequency of occurrence of long and short sentence can create stylistic effect .apart from the difference in expressive meanings ,what are other characteristics of the two types of sentences?Answer : long sentences are good to provide the detailed descriptions ,and are good to reveal the mental activities of the speaker .so they are used to produce a vivid, rich, exuberant, luxurious style. Short sentence：can produce direct ,terse ,concise ,clear effect or continuous ,compact ,swift effect ,so that it creates certain atmosphere , and leave a deep impression on the listeners.3) why do writers often violate the rule of grammarWhat do we cal this violation?Answer: we call this violation syntactic incongruity .the violation of the grammatical rules can be used to produce certain stylistic effects. The so-called ungrammatical sentences are used to represent the different varieties oflanguage according to register and dialect. In literary works, dialectical and personal features of speech are often used to depict the personality of the characters. In poetry, the poet often uses deviant grammatical structures to achieve special effects, makes lines terse and concise, to make it rich in meaning.4)what is the function of rhetorical questions?Answer: A rhetorical question is to use the form of a question in order to express a strong emotion or to emphasize a particular aspect. The function of inverted sentence is to make a declarative sentence more powerful, to attract the listener’s attention, or to induce others’ sympathy. Arranged in parallelism, rhetorical questions can express strong emotions and increase the persuasive power. A rhetorical question can also introduce the topic of the text.5) In what ways can we use inverted sentences to achieve emphatic effect? Answer: to change the normal word order can be used to produce some emphatic effect. What is put to the initial part of the sentence is usually the focus of information of the clause and also the theme of he clause. So it is highlighted. Chapter41 explain the following terms1)Synaesthesia: it refers to the fact that sounds s are attributed withcertain values or esthetic features. It is very casual, and supported by situational features and meaning.2)Alliteration: refers to the repetition of the initial sound usually aconsonant, or a vowel at first position, in two or more words that occur close together.3)Assonance: refers to the use of the same or related vowel sounds insuccessive words. It can create harmonious effect.4)Consonance: refers to the repetition of the last consonants of the stresseswords at the end of the lines.2 questions for discussion1)What are the characteristic of spoken language and written languagerespectively?2)3)Answer: spoken language: 1 it can directly be accompanied by other non-linguistic means as the aid; 2 it is generally speaking not as formal as written language; 3 it permits errors in the process of production; 4 it uses a particular grammar, a grammar characteristics of spoken language. 5 homophonescan be used for special stylistic effects, such as pun; 6 some implications are best represented by special sound features; 7 sound feature can represent the feature of regional dialect or social dialect.Written language:1 as written language communication is usually not a direct one, but is delayed in time and at different places, the writer generally has time to get well prepared and revise the text before he sends it out to the reader;2 as space is limited, it has special grammatical features so as to put more meaning in it .there are many nominalizations to make sentences into groups;3 written language is often used in a more formal situation; 4 as time is enough, it is usually written in a more detailed and logical way;5 as written language is more purposeful, and for a single specific goal, it is usually more constant and developed around a single subject.4)How many sound patterns do we have What special stylistic effects can beachieved by themAnswer: these sound patterns include alliteration which can create harmony, connection and achieve special stylistic effects, assonance which can create harmonious effect, and consonance5)What factors can influence graphological prominence .Answer: there are three distinctive factors that can produce graphological prominence: marking, spacing and sequence. Marking refers to the use of written symbols to convey information; space is spacing arrangement departing from this normal way of spacing can be used to achieve stylistic effects.4 In modern English, punctuation marks are patterned and standardized. How can we use punctuation marks for special stylistic purpose?Answer: period typically occurs at the end of a declarative sentence. If period occurs in unexpected high frequency of occurrence, it often means that the text mainly functions to provide information; comma is used to mark the unit larger than a word, however, in Charles Dickens’ Dombey and Son, comma is used to indicate syllables; exclamation marks can be used to carry emotional coloring, a mark of expressing special feelings; parentheses are used for further explanation; the ellipsis of punctuation marks produces an illogical and non-sequential image.Chapter71 explain the following terms1）Guide: guide is the further explanation of the headline, it consists of six elements; location, character, event, mode, time, and cause.2）Nominalization: refers to a grammatical phenomenon in which the meaning which is normally expressed by a clause is here expressed by a phrase, so clause nominalization is normal. It is contracted.3）The highlighting method: from the productive point of view, the columnist can publish the whole story, or he can cut off some parts from the end. He can even cut off the main body.4）Meaning contraction: using the smallest form to get the most meaning.5）Journalese words: as new report requires the speaker to use the least form to get the most meaning, and it has to be fresh and attractive, so the words in news report is short and new.2 questions for discussion1) What are semantic features of news report?Answer:1 In terms of ideational meaning, apart from the semantic field of news report, it covers virtually all areas of meaning systems ;2 in terms of interpersonal meaning, it stresses objectivity;3 in terms of textual meaning, it has the feature of meaning contraction.3) Most of the headlines are elliptical sentences. Tell in what way ellipsis is best achieve in news report.Answer: most of the headlines are elliptical sentences. What is omitted is: (a) subject-predicate (b) predicate (c) link verb or auxiliary verb4) How is meaning contraction of news report embodied in grammar?Answer: one feature of news report is meaning contraction, that is using the smallest form to get the most meaning .its grammatical feature are as follows:(1) the nominalization of the processes (2)big noun phrases and complex modifications (3)as some of the pre-modifiers come from a separate clause, it is highly contracted .5）The concreteness contraction of news report is in contradiction to meaning contraction. Tell how this contradiction is revolved in news report.Answer: besides its authenticity and objectivity, news report should also emphasize concreteness and detailedness. Therefore, the writer often gives background information and details by using parenthesis. By doing so, the writer can provide concrete and detailed information and save space as well.6）What graphological means are used in news report Analyze what effects are achieved by graphological means.Answer: grphological means are made in the typesetting, for example, headlines can be arranged in such ways: 1 flush-left(it is made into a square) 2dropped-line(the length of the line is the same, but dropped in a bit each time) 3 short line followed by a long tome 4 along line followed by a short line 5 concave form 6 convex form . They can increase esthetic value and become more attractive.7）What are lexical features of news report Why are many nonce words used in news reportAnswer: lexical feature: 1 short and new-fashioned such a “crisis” in “the UN faces crisis of credibility”. 2 short journalese phrase such as “key issue” in “jobless will be the key issue in 1993”. 3nonce w ords, often blends such as Euromarket=European market.8）Why is there so much use of direct speech in news report?Answer: the use of direct speech can enhance the credibility of news report. The directly quoted speech can be regarded as basis of facts.9）What prominent devices are used in headlines in news report?Answer: alliteration allusion suspense etc.Chapter61Explain the following terms1）time non-fluency :pauses in inappropriate positions within a phrase or groups position ,the use of um or er to delay the time ,the repetition of some expressions ,such as be said be said be said.,2）Quality non-fluency: often the speaker cannot find the appropriate words to express himself, and he is striving for words, so he uses many inexact expressions and even wrong expressions or wrong pronunciations to express himself.3）Adjacency pair: most of the sentences are declarative and interrogative sentences as they are mostly made up of questions and answers.4） Slot filling words: slot filling words are used to fill in the pauses when the speaker strives for meaning as words, or when he or she strives to be politeness or lessen the degree of imprudence.2 question for discussion1）What are the characteristics of conversation from the perspective of semantics, grammar, vocabulary and phonology?Answer :semantic features:(1)the inexplicitness of meaning (2)the randomness of subject matter, and a general lack of planning (3)the lack of fluency Grammatical features :(1)sentence complexity (2)verbal phrases(3)nominal phrases(4)the types of sentences (5)quoted elements. Lexical feature:(1)mostof the words are short and simple Anglo-Saxon ones, (2)the choice of words is limited in scope or range (3)slang and colloquial words, taboo words ,exclamatory words are frequently used (4)some slot filling words ,suchas you know ,I mean,etc.(5)use exaggerated words and expressions. Phonological features :(1)use more contractions for the unimportant information (2)the often try to express themselves in spite of the fact that the other is speaking (3)there are many emphatic ways of speech ,such as stress .2）How do you account for the inexplicitness of language in daily conversation?Answer: the inexplicitness of meanings manifested in the following aspects: (1)lots of exophoric expression such as “this “is the tendency (2)there are missing links between the utterances(3) a lot of background information missing.(4)many inexact expressions using general words for particular concepts(5)many incomplete expressions.3）What are the features spontaneous commentary from the perspective of semantics, grammar, vocabulary and phonology?Answer: from the perspective of semantic features, if the listeners could also see the event while the commentary is delivered, there will be a lot of meaning implied or simply presupposed; but in a commentary without visual support on the part of the listeners, the commentator has to provide all the necessary information. In terms of syntactic structure, the sentences and the clauses are usually short as the commentator has no time to give detailed descriptionof the event, and the sentences contain fewer words than usual. From the perspective of lexical features, the words are mostly simple in structure, they are short and simple; they are mostly composed of verbs, and proper names; there might be specialized terms depending on the subject matter of the commentary. From the perspective of phonological features, it is very fast and fluent, but he has to pronounce every word clearly and loudly.4）What are the features of text structure of public speech?Answer: It consist of the following element :(1)a short introduction to the main issue or issues concerned (2)the declaration of one’s attitude and position in the matter (3)the listing, reasoning, and explaining (4)conclusion 5）How is it that in public speech there is much use of noun phrases with post modification?Answer: there are few pre-modifiers, but more post-modifiers such as “of phrase” and “which clauses” to giv e detailed and accurate description. Chapter81 explain the following termsLearned words: learned words are words that borrowed from Latin, Greek and French.Clichés:are words or expressions which have lost their originality or effectiveness because they have been used too often.Semantic features: correctness and completeness; conciseness and clearness; consideration and courtesy. Grammatical features: sentences structure; uses of voices; uses of affirmative sentences; inverted sentencesLexical features: concrete and natural words; technical terms and abbreviations; brief and common word s; avoid clichés (except business contracts)3 questions for discussion1）Why should business English be correct and complete?Answer: the content of business English should be correct and completely. First, the conveyed information should be correct; sometimes a small mistake would cause a great loss in a deal and even affect business relations between two parties. Second, the conveyed information should be complete. For example, if we order some commodities, we should state names of commodities, delivery dates, consignees, methods of payment, etc.2）In business English sometimes active voice is used, and sometimes passive voice is preferred. Point out what stylistic features can be achieved through using voices. Answer: In business English, both active voice and passive voice can be used, but there is a tendency towardspreference of active voice in today’s business communication. Active voice is shorter in form and economic in words compared with passive voice. Thus active voice is more effective in stylistic effect than passive voice; besides, active voice can make style more familiar and less formal. But in some cases, passive voice is necessary. When we discuss something negative, we should avoid blaming the other party directly, in addition, passive voice can make business English style more formal, and the conveyed information more objective.3）Why should business letters be written in a way of consideration and courtesy?Answer: In business communication, in order to make it more efficient, we should be considerate of others and polite to others. “You- Attitude” is very important principle in business communication, that is, we should think ourselves back into the shoes of others so as to cooperate sincerely.4）The use of technical terms and abbreviations is one stylistic feature of business English. State the reason of this phenomenon.Answer: using technical terms and abbreviations can avoid long and tedious explanation, which is one lexical feature of business English. Such as L/C----letter of credit5）Why should we avoid clichés in business English?Answer: clichés are words or expressions which have lost their originality or effectiveness because they have been used too often. In old-fashioned business English there are a large number of clichés, which should be avoid in present-day business communication.Chapter91, explain the following terms2) Redundancy: in order to avoid opaqueness and ambiguity, it has express clearly what everyone knows and takes for granted. This makes the legal language redundant clumsy and hard to understand.3) Common words: many of the legal words come from ordinary language with the common core features especially those high-frequency words, such as prepositions, conjunctions, articles, etc.4) specialized words: specialized words are necessary for two important aspects of legal language. The first is that for the field of law itself, and the second is that for many non-legal field concerned with legal affairs. There are two sources of specialized legal words: common words endowed with legal meanings and archaic words.2, question for discussion1)Why is legal English syntactically complex?2)3)Answer: syntactic Complexity: as its main function is to ensure preciseness and accuracy and block any leakage, the draftsmen of legal documents have to be very carful and scrupulous, and the legal texts have to be able to stand the text of time .therefore legal language is rich in modifications, circumlocutions, and complex logic relations.2）Legal English is very conservative in form. Explain it from a historical perspective.Answer: conservativeness: as the legal language is produced by careful phrasing and tested over a long time, nobody dares to alter the structure of legal English, so that its structures become old-fashioned and archaic. The representative legal language in such a way is English legal language.3) What is the reason that there are many legal words of French source?Answer: because after the Norman Conquest, French because the official language used for all state affairs including law in Great Britain. That is why many French loan words were found in law afterwards.4) What are the lexical features of legal English?Answer: legal vocabulary mainly comes from French.

语言学教程Chapter9 9.1 Introduction
9.1 Introduction
STYLE has been recognized since the days of ancient rhetoric, whereas STYLISTICS is perhaps the creation of bibliographers.
The formation of the word stylistics, i.e. style + istics, indicates that it is an interdisciplinary study.(style for literary criticism, and istics for linguistics)
As a newly developed discipline, Carter and Simpson (1989) observed that “if the 1960s was a decade of formalism in stylistics, the 1970s a decade of functionalism and the 1980s a decade of discourse stylistics, then the 1990s could well become the decade in which sociohistorical and socio-cultural stylistic studies are a main preoccupation.” in addition to this, Shen (2000) pointed out that there is a trend of “plural-heads development”, i.e. different schools of stylistics compete for development and new schools emerge every now and then.

英语文体学教程
Chapterl1, what is style in your opi nio n accord ing to what we have studied in this chapter?from the perspective of the content, the events and activitiesdiffere nt ways; and from the perspective of the text ,style is the functions of texts for differe nt purposes.Anwser2, the definition of style is the concept of style as choice .this definition can have at least toointerpretations .one is that first we have a preexist ing thought ,and then we choice the appropriate type of expression to express it in Ianguage. The chosen expression is the style .another is that the choice refers to the choice of meaning. The choice of Ianguage is at the same time a choice of mea ning and a choice of style .2, what is the sig ni fica nee of study ing the style of Ian guage in lear ning and teach ingEn glish?Anwser,the answer is that if we want to use Ianguage appropriately in different situations , we need to study style .as foreign Ianguage learners, if wedisregard the rules of using what variety of Ianguage in what occasion , or fail to obey them through ignorance , language can become in stead a barrier to successful com muni cati on . Therefore its n ecessary to have a clear aware ness of how Ian guage should be used in differe nt types of situati ons especially in un familiar situati ons.3, what factors can result i n differe nces in styleAn swer , 1, the differe nt types of vocabulary create differe nt images of the events inthe reader ' mind, so they can result in different styles.2,people living in different periods of time in history will also speak differently ,and that will result in a different style.Chapter2 1, explain the followi ng terms1) ,foregrounding: the stylistically significant features have to be prominent andmotivated ,that is ,foregro un ded.2) ,i neon gruity: the lin guistic features depart from the no rmal use ofIan guage ,break ing the rules grammar ,spell ing ,pronun ciati on.3) deflection : the linguistic featuresdon ' t depart from the established grammatical, lexical and logical rules and principles,but have an unexpected high frequency ofoccurre nee.4) ,field; its concerned with what is happening ,including the subject matter,the events happe nin gs,go ing-ons, the An wser1described ,style is saying differentthings in different ways ;from the perspective of the ways of expression used ,styled is same thing in different ways; from the perspective of the usersof Ianguage ,style is different speakers using Ianguage inconten t ,etc5) tenor: its concerned with who is taking part in the exchange of meaning ----therelati on ship betwee n the speaker and the liste ner ,their relative status,theirattitude,a nd their role relati ons .6) mode: its concerned with how the in teract ion is con ducted ,that is whether it iswritten or spoken ,or whether it is expressed by phonic substanee or graphicsubsta nee.2,questi on for discussi on2) i n rhetorical series,the nu mber of items can in flue nee the stylistic effect.try toan alyze the causes on the basis of social culture.Answer :different numbers of words can produce different stylistic effects in the appropriate con texts. Two items express assert ion ,that is ,it is just this ,not that」n appropriate situatio ns three items can produce ethic ,persuasive, and represe ntative effect. Four or more items in a series stress a large number of the concretethings ,and these can produce an imagery in the mind of the reader that the large amount of things constitutes a significant situation in which certain aspect arehighlighted. Another funetion of the rhetorical series is to use concrete items tohighlight abstract concepts so that the abstract concept can be expressed incon crete ,lively and vivid way to enhance the aesthetic value of Ian guage.3) what factors affect the writer se'etio n of words and styleAnswer : five criteria for the selection of words :whether they are familiar or notfamiliar, whether they are concrete or abstract, whether they are single ormore ,whether they are short and simple. Or long. Whether they are Anglo -saxon words or lati n words .field ,tenor ,mode affect the writer ' s selectio n of style.4) what is the criterion used to classify wordsAn swer :we can use more systematic way to classify word accord ing to register anddialect .register:field ,te nor , mode .dialect: regio nal dialect,such as London dialect;social dialect such as dialect of age, race,etc.temporal dialect such as od En glish .5) through what cha nn els can words be used to achieve tran sferred meaning?An swer :simile :x is like Y, eg as busy as bee. Metaphor: X is Y ,eg he is a pig.Syn ecdoche eg many hands represe nt the people who work with their hands .Metonymy eg purse represe nt mon ey.Chapter31, explain the following terms1) ,chiasmus:chiasmus is formed by inverting the word order of the second part of a parallel structure,so it forms a kind of antithetical structure. Eg:let us never negotiate out of fear,but let us n ever fear to n egotiate.2) a ntistrophe: i t is the repetitio n of the same items but i n in verted order ,eg:what polly to me,or me to polly?3) epizeuxis:it is a continuous repetition for high lighting a particular feature.4) ploce: the repetiti on is not continu ous , but in termitte nt or dispersed in the text.5) loose sentence: put the major idea first and than the illustration .such a sentence is easy to grasp .6) periodic senten ce:a periodic sentence can be used to create suspe nse,or expectati on,thus draw ing the liste ner attend on to the end of the senten ce.it can be used toproduce humorous and emphatic effect .2, questi on for discussi on1) ,there are many types of syntactic deflection ,but they have one thing in com mon :recurre nee of structures. How is syn tactic deflect ion classified?An swer :there are two type of syn tactic deflecti on :the un expected high freque ncy ofoccurrenee of a certain type of sentence; and the overregular occurrenee of aparticular patter n .2) the high frequency of occurrenee of long and short sentence can create stylisticeffect .apart from the differe nee in expressive meanings ,what are other characteristics of the two types of senten ces?Answer : long sentences are good to provide the detailed descriptions ,and are good to reveal the men tal activities of the speaker .so they are used to produce a vivid, rich, exuberant, luxurious style. Short sentence : can produce direct ,terse ,concise ,clear effect or continu ous ‘compact ,swift effect ,so t hat it creates certa in atmosphere , and leave a deep impressi on on the liste ners.3) why do writers ofte n violate the rule of grammar? What do we cal this violati on?Answer: we call this violation syntactic incongruity .the violation of the grammatical rules can be used to produce certain stylistic effects. The so-called ungrammatical sentences are used to represent the different varieties of Ianguage according toregister and dialect. In literary works, dialectical and pers onal features of speech are often used to depict the personality of the characters. In poetry, the poet often uses devia nt grammatical structures to achieve special effects, makes lines terse and con cise, to make it rich in meaning.4) what is the function of rhetorical questi ons?Answer: A rhetorical question is to use the form of a question in order to express astro ng emoti on or to emphasize a particular aspect. The function of in verted sentenceis to make a declarative sentence more po werful, to attract the listener ' s attention, orto in duce others ' sympathy. Arran ged in parallelism, rhetorical questi ons can expr essstro ng emoti ons and in crease the persuasive power. A rhetorical questi on can alsoin troduce the topic of the text.5) In what ways can we use in verted senten ces to achieve emphatic effect?Answer: to change the normal word order can be used to produce some emphatic effect. What is put to the initial part of the sentence is usually the focus of in formati on of the clause and also the theme of he clause. So it is highlighted.Chapter41 explain the following terms1) Syn aesthesia: it refers to the fact that sounds s are attributed with certa in valuesor esthetic features.

If they violate the rules and prescriptions, they will be punished in a certain way. Why? Because of its special social function, it will not only convey the meanings it has to convey, but also has to avoid any opaque(不透明的), ambiguous expression, and express everything clearly and completely. There is no room for implications and esthetic values.
2.Redundancy(冗余性) In order to avoid opaqueness and ambiguity, it has to express clearly what everybody knows and takes for granted. This makes the legal language redundant, clumsy and hard to understand.
