Style is an important component of communication: it is the how in
communicating the what, demonstrating the ontological unity of the
two in language variability that provides the ground for the
functioning of what-how and what-for. This volume approaches style
within the framework of cognitive linguistics, a usage-based
functional model, which interprets language as being conceptual,
whereas conceptual knowledge is interpreted as experiential.
Consequently, style is considered not as a set of predetermined
ornaments on texts, but as a system of context-sensitive
probability schemes of formation contributing to the meaning of
discourse. Style is the outcome of linguistic potential,
constrained by socio-cultural factors, functioning in the on-line
and consolidated stylistic structure of discourse.
