98. What PhUs can we call ‘stylistically coloured’?
All lexical units that belong to the special literary and special colloquial layers of vocabulary are considered stylistically coloured because they have definite functional stylistic connotations and in most cases (like for example slang or poetic words) are charged with bright emotionality and expressiveness. All units of stylistically coloured vocabulary, as it have already been shown, perform a definite stylistic function within a certain functional style or can acquire additional stylistic functions in other functional styles. After the general discussion of the nature and function of the words that belong to different stylistic strata the question of their correlation with the context is undoubtedly worth considering.
