The concept of style.

Different scholars have defined style differently at different times. In 1955 the Academician V.V. Vinogradov defined style as “socially determined and functionally conditioned internally united totality of the ways of using, selecting and combining the means of lingual intercourse in the sphere of one national language or another”. In 1971 Prof. I.R. Galperin offered his definition of style as “is a system of co-ordinated, interrelated and inter-conditioned language means intended to fulfil a specific function of communication and aiming at a definite effect”. According to Prof. Screbnev “style is what differentiates a group of homogeneous texts from all other groups… Style can be roughly defined as the peculiarity, the set of specific features of text type or of a specific text”.

The problems of functional styles of language. Different points of view on the classification of styles of the English language.

Functional stylistics deals with sets, "paradigms" of language units of all levels of language hierarchy serving to accommodate the needs of certain typified communicative situations. These paradigms are known as functional stylesof the language. Functional style is formulated by I. R. Galperin as "a system of coordinated, interrelated and interconditioned language means intended to fulfil a specific function of communication and aiming at a definite effect." One of the problems of stylistic research is the number of functional styles; The authors of handbooks on different languages propose systems of styles based on a broad subdivision of all styles into 2 classes – literary and colloquial and their varieties. These generally include from three to five functional styles. Galperin’s system of styles: 1. Belles-lettres style (poetry, emotive prose, drama); 1. Publicist (oratory and speeches, essay, article); 3. Newspaper (brief news items, headlines, ads, editorial); 4. scientific prose; 5. official documents. Arnold’s system of styles: 1. Poetic; 2. Scientific; 3. Newspaper; 4. Colloquial. Screbnev’s system of styles: Number of styles is infinite.
