The aim of this paper is to discuss the status of comparative historical stylistics, the comparative branch of the historical study of literary style. Its objectives, methodology, and interdisciplinary connections are presented and a number of related issues such as its possibilities, areas of competence, and justification are demonstrated. The author's intention is to lay the foundations of that discipline, and to make recognised it on a wider scale. - The relevant issues are presented in the following five sections: 1. The comparative domain of the history of literary style and comparative stylistics; 2. Theoretical elucidation of the notion of comparison; 3. Topics of the discipline (a preview); 4. Comparative explorations in interliterary relationships and those between literature and other branches of art; 5. Comparisons within a single literature. - On the basis of the results obtained in each of the topics, the following conclusion can be drawn: comparative historical stylistics, this heretofore unrecognised branch of the historical study of style, is possible, justified, and necessary. The results that have been obtained and are to be obtained in this area will have to be submitted to further study. The main task for the immediate future is to attempt to reveal stylistic universals, as well as invariant features in the mass of stylistic variants. It is in that way that the emerging comparative discipline can progress, rising above single literatures, towards general stylistics, an overall theory of style, in line with exigent principles of the general theory of science.

Funeral sermons are one of the most significant types of text in the history of German and Protestant moral writing. For about 200 years after Luther’s death they enjoyed enormous popularity among all social groups and both facilitated and accelerated the transition from Early New High German to New High German. Numerous surviving texts are a splendid basis for examining the development of German in this pivotal period. This article presents the most crucial and rhetorically as well as stylistically conditioned features of the sermon, their impact on the structure of the text and selected forms of linguistic realization with particular attention paid to syntax.

The authoress analyses ecphrasis in the linguistic context of genological conception, rooted in the Bakhtin tradition. She treats it as a genre whose role is to consolidate the effects of communing with the work of art. Ecphrasis is analysed in the functional text, taking into consideration its dual dependency - on the type of a discourse (recreational tourism) and on a genre, whose ingredient it is (a guidebook). Its formal-compositional, stylistic, interactive features as well as the manner of conceptualisation of the object of art are dependent upon both contextual conditioning (the principles of discourse and a persuasive as well as instructional function of a guidebook) and the specificity of the touristy experience of the reality. The situation of an eyewitness inspection triggers an unusual game between a word and an object, between a 'tourist's eye' and 'a guidebook's eye', between subjective and cultural perception, between the competence with the expectations of a tourist and the strategies of ecphrasis.

The aim of this study is to present 'stylistic features' of literary trends as a new principle of stylistic investigation. In this view, these features serve as a reflector by means of which stylistic phenomena can be put in a new light. In other words, they represent new principles for the inquiry into stylistic facts belonging to various branches of stylistics. By way of this inquiry, we can deepen our understanding, we can penetrate into their latent 'content', and we can complete our knowledge of them obtained so far by other criteria, in terms of other approaches. For instance, by introducing such 'features' into the stylistic analysis of a literary work, our knowledge of the analysed work is enriched, and this 'addition' contributes to a better understanding and to a more profound interpretation and evaluation of it. In this way, one of the most neglected branches of stylistics, the history of literary trends (the history of literary style) can be considered as an applied discipline, and by way of this new aspect its importance may increase. In discussing these problems it is to be stressed that in this initial phase the question at issue, the possibilities offered by the history of literary trends, have to be judged as a working hypothesis; consequently, biassed exaggerations (unfounded refusals or undesirable overrating and misunderstanding) should be avoided. The structure of the study answers the purpose, the intended discussion of 'stylistic features' from various points of view. The first section deals with the problems of the subject-matter joined with the concept of literary trend, several matters of the history of literary trends and those of the underlying theory, i.e., textology. The following three sections present a survey of 'features' belonging to three branches of stylistics: stylistic evaluation, stylistic analysis, and style typology. The main task for the near future is to reveal stylistic universals, as many as possible, and to find invariants in the mass of stylistic variants, in the great variety of stylistic features of literary trends.

This paper consists of two parts: the first discusses problems of periodisation in Krúdy's oeuvre, whereas the second part attempts to present a sketch of the style of his last period on the basis of its characteristic stylistic properties. As the author points out, the main features of that period are as follows: (a) a distinguished role of figurative language: similes, metaphors, a correlation of recurring images and topics; (b) cumulation (the use of coordinated constituents) as a decisive strategy of sentence construction; (c) combination of present and past within the same stretch of text; and (d) irony.

In this talk, the author applies the tenets of the Prague School concerning the emergence of literary language to the oeuvre of Ferenc Faludi (1704-1779). With a detailed discussion of his 'A book of notes', he tries to support the claim that Faludi was, above all, a stylistic innovator. In particular, he investigates the way two specific features of literary language that the Prague School emphasized occur in Faludi's work: a) the polifunctionalism of linguistic tools and hence their higher level of differentiation, and b) intellectuality, i.e., the elaboration of - mainly lexical and syntactic - tools that make language capable of representing higher levels of abstraction and accurately expressing the logical process of thinking, including its complexity. With respect to polifunctionalism, the author claims that Faludi was interested in the whole of language; however, his main aim was to polish Hungarian and to deliberately increase its stylistic power. He renewed the literary form of 'song', and experimented with a number of literary genres. But his most important contribution to literary style (and Hungarian in general) was the introduction of linguistic-stylistic tools for a range of various stylistic shades. All that was also served by his activities as a translator. He also contributed to the intellectuality of literary language, the increase of means of expression of higher-level thinking in several ways (word formation, compounding, preverb-verb combinations, reduplication, proverbs, specialized terms, attributive constructions, etc.). Briefly: he was a bold word selector and word creator: a stylistic innovator.

The article deals with one specific approach towards the language (speech) culture (jazyková kultura), which links this discipline with stylistics. The approach is deeply rooted in the Czech context, namely in the functional approaches towards language developed since the 1920-1930s by members of the Prague School and still widely used. The field of interest of this discipline can be divided into four main spheres: 1) present-day situation and 2) possibilities of influencing A. language and B. speech (langue and parole in the established Saussurean terminology, in other words - system and usage). In university courses described in the article, the focus is on the 2A and 2B types - the materials examined in seminars are mainly various attempts at influencing language in both above-mentioned respects, i.e. system and usage. Although various present-day materials dominate, materials from previous centuries, e.g. by Jan Hus (15th century), are also used to illustrate approaches towards such problems in the past. The main aim of the courses is to understand better 1) function, 2) methods and 3) theoretical background presented in the investigated materials and to make qualified theoretical conclusions about them, rather than to support or reject directly the opinions expressed in the materials. Attention is therefore paid above all to a description and analysis of all of the above-mentioned three points, which links the discipline of language (speech) cultivation to stylistics, but also to other disciplines (e.g. sociolinguistics). The students, as future qualified experts in the Czech language, should then be better prepared for issues they may face in their future professional career (teachers, language experts etc.), when asked to express a qualified and reliable opinion of some phenomena in modern Czech.

The author discerns two main types within the field of cognitive differentiation of language - extroverted and introverted type. In all types of introverted differentiation of language there are different types of expressivity, which he refers to as differentiating-lectal expressivity. This paper shortly presents its basic aspects and types. Expressivity, in general, is divided into internal and external. Internal expressivity creates its own types of differentiating-lectal structuring of language. Each of those types has its own expressivity: one - functional style, two - dialect, three - jargon, four - women language as opposed to men language, five - language of the young etc. Thus, expressivity is not only a phenomenon of stylistic differentiation of language but also universal occurrence.

This article is devoted to a new definition of the localizational function of literary onomastics, a function that to this point has been understood in a narrow sense and frequently regarded by onomasts as a secondary function. The author proposes a departure from the traditional understanding of localization (indication of the specific place and time of events) by taking advantage of recent research proposals redefining the concept of time (E. Cioran, M. Dabrowski, H. Markiewicz, B. Zielinska) and space (M. Eliade, M. Glowinski, M. Porebski, J. Slawinski). On the basis of analysis of selected prose fragments the author demonstrates that the localizational function in its broad sense has a significantly higher stylistic importance, and taking into consideration its full paradigm allows one to motivate functionally the onymic level of literary text (especially authentic names given to the same referents as in extraliterary reality).

The paper describes deviations from the conventional norms of politeness in the process of communication via e-mail between students (as subordinates) and lecturers (as their superiors) in the English Department. It has been noted that the students are to a large extent unable to use an appropriate register in their e-mail correspondence, focusing more on the aspects of solidarity between interlocutors rather than power distance between them. These modifications manifest themselves through a variety of elements, e.g. a disregard for the norms of punctuation and spelling, the use of forms of address typical of the spoken interaction with peers, code-mixing between Polish and English, or the choice of vocabulary and style unsuitable for the type of relationship. All these violate the traditional linguistic etiquette. This is additionally augmented by the inappropriate phrasing of requests which formally often employ the markers characteristic for orders. These changes are attributed to the student's predominant exposure to electronic media communication in informal contexts which consequently acts as the prototype for the written communication process in the modern era.

The article takes a closer look at the issue of mental manipulation of advertising language, on the basis of examples of Ukrainian and Polish advertising slogans. The influence of advertising on the receiver's mentality takes place in two ways, both through elements closely concerned with the language system (pragmatic presupposition, positive-connotation lexion & absolutisation of the advertised object), and those outside the language system (the so-called 'scientific argument', playing of human emotions, implication, the power of authority, and crypto-advertising). In the article the notion of advertising rhetoric and the richness of stylistic means used in advertising have been discussed. The following terms have been distinguished, among others: epithet, comparison, metaphor, metonymy, hyperbole, alliteration and gemation, which not only diversify the terms of stylistics and general impression, and in that way are also the source of manipulation of the consumer's mind. The conclusion of the study is to present advertising content as a communication whose form and structure are dedicated to one aim - to encourage the consumer to buy the product.

This article deals with the history of Lithuanian stylistics. In the first part, old Lithuanian literature is presented from the stylistic point of view. Three main styles from the period prior to the 19th century can be identified: the ecclesiastic, the official and the belles-lettres style. The ecclesiastic style holds the dominant position and includes the oldest Lithuanian texts from the 16th century; the official style and belles-lettres where influenced by German and Polish and did not recover their independent stylistic features until the end of the 18th century. The full stylistic scale of Lithuanian literature developed at the beginning of 20th century. The second part of the article analyses the rise and development of Lithuanian stylistic theory in the 20th and 21st centuries. Stylistics became a separate area of study in Lithuania in the 1930s and its development was closely connected to the functional theory of language, represented by the work of the Prague Linguistic Circle. In 'Lietuviu kalbos stilistika' (1971b), Juozas Pikcilingis laid the foundation for contemporary Lithuanian stylistic theory, which has been continued and extended by a new generation of scientists such as Kazimieras Zuperka (theory of the competition of linguistic means), Audrone Bitiniene (statistical research on style) or Juozas Abaravicius (stylistics of punctuation).

Stylistics is a topic, which is present in the Slovenská reč journal from its very beginning – not only in scientific studies, but also in essays, reviews, discussions and reports. Slovenská reč is a platform, where the continuous stabilization of stylistics as part of Slovak linguistics can be observed, including the research objectives, terminology and methodology. The majority of articles are focused on the linguo-stylistics and stylistics of communication spheres, based mainly on the concept of functional style – scientific, media, administrative, literary, and common spheres specifically. In the last decades, it is also a religious sphere. In the 1950s, in accordance with its main profile, educational stylistics is preferred; in the 1960s-1980s, it is textual stylistics and theoretical and practical questions of composition. There are also articles concerning other parts of stylistics, mainly translational stylistics and in the 21st century significantly also pragmastylistics.
