13. Decoding stylistic.

This brunch of stylistic is the most recent trend in S research.

DS makes an attempt to regard the aesthetic value of a text based of specific textual elements in delivering the author’s message.

This method isn’t used separately, but only as a part of whole text. Decoding S is the same as reader’s S.

DS laid down a few principle methods:

1) convergence (combination of SD promoting the same idea, emotion.

2) coupling – based on the affinity of elements that occupy similar positions throughout the text

3) semantic fields – method of DS, which identifies lexical elements in text that provide its thematic and compositional cohesion.

4) semi-marked structures – wrong use of grammar rules for achieving special effects
