Artistic and Expressive Functions of Syntactic-Stylistic Figures

Artistic and Expressive Functions of Syntactic-Stylistic Figures

Syntactic-stylistic figures expressive functions linguistic deviation

This research analytically investigates the expressive and artistic functions of syntactic-stylistic figures within the framework of modern linguistic paradigms. The central thesis of the study posits that syntactic-stylistic figures are not merely external rhetorical “decorations” (ornatus), but strategic tools that cognitively and aesthetically model authorial subjectivity while significantly enhancing the text's illocutionary force. Within this study, the phenomenon of linguistic deviation - a conscious departure from neutral grammatical patterns - is evaluated as the primary factor ensuring the communicative impact of the discourse. Methodologically, the study relies on structural-functional analysis, the transformational method, and the theory of markedness. The analysis demonstrates that devices such as inversion and parcellation, as utilized in the examined examples, produce a “foregrounding” effect by shifting the informative center of the message. Specifically, it is practically substantiated that aposiopesis generates a state of “semantic silence” which disrupts cognitive automatism and heightens emotional tension by transferring the burden of logical resolution to the reader’s imagination. Furthermore, the study analyzes the convergence of figures, establishing that the accumulation of multiple stylistic devices at a single point ensures the pragmatic density of the text. Ultimately, syntactic figures are revealed as complex linguistic structures that actualize latent expressive potentials within the language system, playing an indispensable role in maintaining the emotional-expressive integrity of literary texts and the aesthetic individuality of the “image of the author.” These conclusions serve to enrich the theoretical foundations of syntactic stylistics and contribute to a systematic understanding of the pragmatic potential of literary discourse.
