A SEMANTIC APPROACH TO STYLISTIC DEVICES IN THE CASE OF INFORMATIVE TEXTS

Summary/Abstract: Stylistic levels are manifested in connection with what we call traditional linguistic (phonetic, morphological, syntactic and semantic) levels, i.e. the levels of phonemes, morphemes, sentences and meanings. Nevertheless, these units are not construed hierarchically upon each other, they are rather concurrent structures, displaying parallel and horizontal rather than vertical conformation, and contributing jointly and equally to the stylistic pattern of texts. When analysing the semantic implications of news textsř style, we must rely on this model of linguistic levelling. Keywords
