Stylistics and text interpretation

Stylistic meaning gives very important information about the communicators and the communicative situation (Crystal, Davy 1969: 81-82).

  • Expressive meaning is a reflection of various characteristics of the communicators, resulting in their attitudes, moods, relation towards communicators and towards the subject of communication. According to Leech this meaning contributes to expressing a positively or negatively marked value judgement - aesthetic, moral, ethical etc. (Leech 1969: 84).
  • Connotative meaning is a result of subjective reac­tions to objective reality, most often conditioned by the communicator’s individual or collective experience, but also the relation of certain lexemes to certain pheno­mena and concepts.

Literal and figurative meaning

  • Literal and figurative meanings are especially important elements of semantics. As regards literal meaning, it is essential for the given lexeme. However should bear in mind the element of lexical ambiguity, “a very common phenome­ non in the lexicon of all languages, reflecting in the existence of more than one terpretation of the form, function and contents of individual language units” .

In stylistics, 'text' means

  • a piece of information that can be spoken or written appearing in its original form. It refers to language use that has not been altered by either summarizing or paraphrasing.
  • Stylistics involves analysis of rhetoric, tone, irony, metaphors, and such styles applied in the use of language. In stylistics, text can be intricate, which means precise information. Such texts usually require keen analysis to interpret because they are complicated. Surface texts are words whose meaning is as simple as they come out. The texts are easy to interpret because what the listener hears is precisely what the speaker means.

Interpretation of the text as a scientific subject

  • comprises a system of methods and devices for grasping the meaning of a belles-lettres text and its ideological-aesthetic and emotional information by comprehending the author's vision of the world and the cognition of objective reality, reflected in the text. The course of interpretation for future teachers-philologists is aimed at developing their skill for penetrating into the deep essence of a literary work, for finding objective reasons in the text of its ideological, aesthetic, educational and emotional impact on the reader and for extracting the entire information, that is deposited in it.
