1. 
   Stylistics is the study of the choices made by speakers and writers in language use. It focuses on the expressive aspects of language use, including the use of words, phrases, and structures to create meaning and effect.
   

Stylistics is a branch of applied linguistics that studies and interprets various types of texts and spoken language based on their linguistic and tonal styles. It aims to explain the language choices of individuals and social groups through socialization, the production and reception of meaning, critical discourse analysis, and literary criticism.

2. 
   The object of stylistics is the study of style, that is, the patterns of language use that are characteristic of a particular individual, group, or period.
   

The object of stylistics is to establish principles that explain particular choices made by individuals and social groups in their use of language in literature production and reception, dialect study, registers study, discourse analysis, and literary criticism. It seeks to understand what the possibilities are in a given language and why particular stylistic choices are made, such as in a newspaper report or a literary text.

2. 
   Stylistics is closely connected with several branches of linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.
   

Stylistics is a branch of applied linguistics that closely examines and interprets various types of texts and spoken language based on their linguistic and tonal styles. It is concerned with the study of linguistic factors that place a discourse in context. Stylistics is closely connected with other branches of linguistics such as sociolinguistics, which studies social patterns of linguistic variability, and discourse analysis, which examines the use of language in specific contexts. Stylistics also has ties with literary criticism, dialect study, and register study. Additionally, linguistics as a whole has connections with other academic disciplines like philosophy and literature.

2. 
   Stylistics is closely connected with various other branches of linguistics, including phonetics, lexicology, grammar, semantics, and semasiology Stylistics also has interdisciplinary links with other fields like literary criticism, psychology, anthropology, and communication studies. The main objective of stylistics is to establish principles that explain particular choices made by individuals and social groups in their use of language in literature production and reception, dialect study, registers study, discourse analysis, and literary criticism .Therefore, it is an important interdisciplinary field that deals with real-life language issues
   

5 Stylistics faces several basic problems in its study of language use and interpretation. These include the identification of the stylistic features of a text or speech, the establishment of the relationship between stylistic features and meaning, and the interpretation of the stylistic choices made by the author or speaker. Another problem is the determination of the effect of stylistic features on the reader or listener's understanding and response.

6 Style can be defined as the manner of expression used in a particular text or speech. It encompasses various linguistic and tonal features such as word choice, sentence structure, figurative language, and tone. Style is considered a fundamental aspect of literary and non-literary texts, as it shapes the reader or listener's interpretation and response to the text.
7 The lexical meaning of a language unit refers to its dictionary definition or the meaning that is typically associated with it. It is the basic, literal meaning of a word or phrase that can be found in a dictionary. The lexical meaning of a language unit is important in stylistics as it provides the foundation for the figurative or connotative meanings that arise from the use of language in context.
8 Connotative meaning refers to the additional emotional or cultural associations that a word may carry beyond its literal, denotative meaning, which is the dictionary definition or objective reference.
9 Expressiveness can be defined as the use of language to convey emotion or subjective meaning in addition to the literal or denotative meaning.
10 Expressive means are a category of linguistic resources used to introduce stylistic or non-denotative meanings into utterances, while stylistic devices are specific strategies used to create particular effects or enhance the stylistic value of a text.
11 The norm refers to the standard or accepted usage of language within a particular community or context, while the form refers to the structure or organization of language itself, including its grammar, syntax, and vocabulary.
12 In summary, connotative meaning involves additional emotional or cultural associations, expressiveness is the use of language to convey subjective meaning, expressive means introduce stylistic or non-denotative meanings, stylistic devices are specific strategies, the norm refers to accepted usage, and the form refers to the structure of language itself.
