1.2. Problems of classification of syntactic stylistic devices
in modern Linguistics
1. The choice of words included lexical expressive means such as foreign words, archaisms, neologisms, poetic words, nonce words and metaphor. 2. Word combinations involved 3 things: a) order of words; b) word-combinations; c) rhythm and period (in rhetoric, a complete sentence). 3. Figures of speech. This part included only 3 devices used by the antique authors always in the same order. a) antithesis; b) assonance of colons; c) equality of colons” (A colon in rhetoric means one of the sections of a rhythmical period in Greek chorus consisting of a sequence of 2 to 6 feet). The classification suggested by Ilya Galperin is simply organised and very detailed. His book “Stylistics” published in 1971 includes the following subdivision of expressive means and stylistic devices based on the level-oriented approach: - The classification suggested by Ilya Galperin is simply organised and very detailed.

CHAPTER II. COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SYNTACTIC STYLISTIC DEVICES IN ENGLISH AND RUSSIAN - 2.1. Communicative-pragmatic analysis syntactic stylistic devices in English and Russian
- Word order is a crucial syntactical issue in many languages. While in Russian the word order is relatively free, in English it has peculiarities which have been caused by the concrete and specific way the language has developed. O. Jespersen states that the English language "...has developed a tolerably fixed word-order which in the great majority of cases shows without fail what is the Subject of the sentence." That is, “Subject – Verb(Predicate) – Object(S – P – O)”. The most conspicuous places in the sentence are considered to be the first and the last: the first place because the full force of the stress can be felt at the beginning of an utterance and the last place because there is a pause after it.
