CHAPTER I. PROBLEMS OF PHONOSTYLISTICS AND CLASSIFICATION OF PHONETIC STYLES

   Problems of phonostylistics
   

Function of stylistic that investigates speech on the level of phonetics is called phonostylistics. It studies the functional differentiation of pronunciation.
It studies the way phonetic means function in various in extra-linguistic situations. Extra-linguistic situation determines the functional differentiation of pronunciation.
The extra-linguistic situation includes all the factors that form and modify phonetic styles. It can be defined by 3 components purpose, participants and setting. The purpose directs the activity of the participants. Ex.: Any talk is motivated by the purpose of talking, so it has the topic of communication and happens in a particular setting and is reproduced by participants.
We never fail to guess what the person is doing instructing us or amusing. Each of these variations makes a speaker select a number of functional phonetic means to make the realization of the aim more objective. Analysing the purpose we should mention the general activity type and the subject matter. The subject matter may be the same. Ex.: Literature. Usual talk. But the general activity type is different.
Speaking about the participants we should take into account following: 1. Age, 2. Sex, 3. Emotional state. Speaking about setting it is important to take into consideration: 1). The number of the participants involved into communication. The speech may be public or private, impersonal or personal, high-cultured or low-cultured. As for the form of communication it may be a monologue or a dialogue.
The degree of formality should also be mentioned. Speech may be formal or informal, prepared or half-prepared, spontaneous.
