The article is devoted to the analysis of segmental and suprasegmental levels of sound organization in speech within the framework of phonostylistics. It explores the stylistic function of phonemes, alliteration, assonance, intonation, tempo, rhythm, and pausing as expressive devices across various discourse types. Particular attention is given to the role of sound repetition and prosodic features in poetic, literary, and public speech. The study demonstrates that the interaction of segmental and suprasegmental elements creates the expressive unity of a speech act. The necessity of an integrated approach to the analysis of sound structure, considering both phonetic and prosodic factors, is emphasized.
