Abstract

Stylistics, as an independent discipline, provides our students with all the necessary material (investigation tools) to skim as well as muse deeply into literary texts, which seem to them too difficult and perhaps, sometimes, unapproachable. A lot of the stylistic characteristics such as repetition; the use of special names, appositives, action verbs, and adjectives shifted out of order are deliberate because they straddle the line between writing and thought ; they contribute to the creation of four images: the mood, the conflict, the setting and the character and above all they add clarity to relieve the boredom of reading long passages. Stylistics attempts to help those who do not know these devices and techniques not to lose comprehension and fail to fully grasp what is really being conveyed. To be able to understand and make use of such devices correctly and effectively, we must characterize their uses and find an adequate representation for teaching them. It is within the scope of the present article to introduce stylistics to the English learning community in general and to the fourth year students in particular.
