Style is depth, deviation, choice, context style restricted linguistic variation, style is a man himself 
(Buffon). In filology the word style is applied for the following: 
- the norm as the invariant of phonetic, morphological, lexical, syntactical patterns circulating in 
language-in-action at a given period of time; 
- technique of expression, that is ability to write correctly; 
- individual style; 
- literary genre; 
- functional style. 
Functional style can be defined as a system of language means intended to fulfil a specific function 
(aim) of communication. The linguists do not hold the unanimous view as to the types of functional 
styles. I.V.Arnold’s classification includes 4 style: 
1. Poetic style 
2. Scientific style 
3. Newspaper style 
4. Colloquial style. 
A.M.Morokhovsky gives the following classification of style: 1) official business style; 2) scientific-
professional style; 3) publicistic style; 4) literary colloquial style; 5) familiar colloquial style. 
(Galperin) distinguish 5 styles in the English language, each of which is characterised by specific 
linguistic features. 
THE BELLES-LETTRES STYLE 
The main function - is aesthetic impact on the reader. It is subdivided into: 
1. The language of poetry (verse) 
2. Emotive prose (fiction) 
3. Drama 
The linguistic characteristics of the belles-lettres styles are the following:
1. genuine, not trite imagery; 
2. the use of words in contextual meaning; 
3. The use of expressive means of the language and stylistic devices. 
Each substyle of the belles-lettres style is also characterised by its typical features. Thus the language of 
poetry is character-zed by rhyme and rhythm. 
The distinguishing feature of emotive prose is the combination of literary language with colloquial, 
because there are always two forms of communication - monologue (the writer's speech) and dialogue 
(the speech of the characters). 
The language of drama is entirely dialogue. The author's speech is almost entirely excluded except for the 
playwright's remarks and stage directives.
