In the general area of style study or stylistics there is no
shortage of ideas, definitions or published works. It is hoped, in
the present volume, to contribute to the prosperity of the
discipline mainly by clarifying and exemplifying how pragmatic
considerations may be relevant to any study of style, in the
conviction that pragmastylistics is more interesting and useful
than stylistics on its own. The starting point must be a brief
survey of the definitions and style and stylistics. The very form
of the latter term suggests a scientific and orderly, rather than
an intuitive or impressionistic, investigation of style. There are
two separate levels of study: one, a general, methodical and
scientific discipline; the other, an application of its methods or
postulates to the analysis of the 'style' of a specific utterance,
text, speaker, writer, movement or period. It is clear that, in
order to approach either, we must first attempt to understand
style.
