Degayo BSED- English Introduction to Stylistics

Task 1 Finals

1. Systematic Grammar in Literary Analysis

Systemic Functional Grammar was first introduced by Halliday (1961; 1985). It


connects a text's grammar and meaning. SFG can be used as part of a research-based
approach to literature by showing students how to systematically analyze literary texts.
Basic SFG analyses have been used to successfully analyze several literary texts.

2. Meaning beyond the Sentences

It is a technique that uses connectives particularly in the stream- of- consciousness.


It uses nine connectives. These connectives were Conjunctions and Conjunctive
adjectives, Pronominal with a preceding noun, Repetition of keywords or proper name,
used of Synonyms or related words or phrases, Deictic words, Repetition of opening
structures, Class- member relationships, Loosen Semantics connection without
Repetition of items and finally clear sequence of events.

3. Structural Stylistics

According to Taylor and Toolan, structural stylistic is divided into two theories, the
Objectivist and the Affective Theories. The Objectivist stylisticians hold the style existing
properly in the text itself; there are two factions under the Objectivist, the Formalist
factions which link the formal stylistics with specific stylistic functions and the Functional
which includes ideational, interpersonal and textual. The Affective stylisticians consider
un-arbitrary myths and tales both limiting and enabling.
4. Reference vs. Representation

Reference and Representation were some of the useful concepts of Stylistics.


Reference is the indexical function of language or roughly speaking, a linguistic
expression whose reference can shift from context to context, pointing to different
aspects of reality while Representation is manipulating language to stand for an
experience/ situation. Manipulation is marked by language signs of different levels that
help interpret the speaker's intentions. Manipulative influence refers to problems of
linguistic legal framework.
