Common features of style include the use of dialogue, including regional accents and individual dialects (or ideolects), the use of grammar, such as the observation of active voice and passive voice, the distribution of sentence lengths, the use of particular language registers, and so on. In addition, stylistics is a distinctive term that may be used to determine the connections between the form and effects within a particular variety of language. Therefore, stylistics looks at what is 'going on' within the language; what the linguistic associations are that the style of language reveals.









According to Katie Wales in "A Dictionary of Stylistics," the goal of "most stylistics is not simply to describe the formal features of texts for their own sake, but in order to show their functional significance for the interpretation of the text; or in order to relate literary effects to linguistic 'causes' where these are felt to be relevant."






In many ways, stylistics is an interdisciplinarity study of textual interpretations, using both language comprehension and social dynamics understandings to influence the field of study. Rhetoric reasoning and history influence the textual analysis a stylistician does when closely observing a written piece.
Michael Burke describes the field in "The Routledge Handbook of Stylistics" as an empirical or forensic discourse critique, wherein the stylistician is "a person who with his/her detailed knowledge of the workings of morphology, phonology, lexis, syntax, semantics, and various discourse and pragmatic models, goes in search of language-based evidence in order to support or indeed challenge the subjective interpretations and evaluations of various critics and cultural commentators."
Burke paints stylisticians then as a kind of Sherlock Holmes character who has expertise in grammar and rhetoric and a love of literature and other creative texts, picking apart the details on how they operate piece by piece -- observing style as it informs meaning, as it informs comprehension.


















Stylistic analysis in literary studies is usually made for the purpose of commenting on quality and meaning in a text.
Examples
A stylistic analysis of a roadsign which reads NO LEFT TURN might make the following observations.
The statement is a command.
It is cast in the imperative mode.
The statement lacks a subject and a verb.
These are implied [THERE IS].
The statement is unpunctuated.
Capitals have been used for emphasis.
Simple vocabulary to suit wide audience.
Extreme compression for rapid comprehension.
Form entirely suited to audience and function.
Use
In linguistics the purpose of close analysis is to identify and classify the elements of language being used.
In literary studies the purpose is usually an adjunct to understanding, exegesis, and interpretation.
In both cases, an extremely detailed and scrupulous attention is paid to the text.
This process may now be aided by computer programs which able to analyse texts....
