The paper focuses on the subject of the contemporary refugee crisis in the years 2015-2016. The presented research includes the elements of stylistic analysis of selected texts on the website of RTV Slovenija found under the Begunska kriza bookmark. The research on the grammatical solutions used in the texts aims to determine the language tools applied to present the refugee crisis in the territory of Slovenia in these texts and their pragmatic implications.
The paper attempts to offer a model of stylistic investigation by focusing only on two functions related to style, namely the role of deictics and the role of clauses within the morphological and syntactic system as displayed by and within the Dickensian text. Thus, our analysis will be particularized onto the study of fragments from one of Dickens’ novels, Little Dorrit, in an attempt to unfold the stylistic peculiarities and constancies of the Dickensian writing. We will first try to briefly outline the specificity of any stylistic analysis within the domain of Stylistics and then we will contextualize Dickens’ writing within the larger frame of the history of English writing. The study of deictics and clauses finds its motivation in the endeavour to record Dickens’ fervour to clearly show what his fictional universe constitutes (the function of deictics) and to explain minutely what it consists of (the function of clauses).
