Stylistics is one of the most ancient and interesting sciences, which systematizes special concepts of language and ways of its use. The appearance of different styles in different languages, one way or another, is connected with history, because each of them arose as a result of some historical event.

Newspaper style

The purpose of the newspaper style is to convey to the reader information about the events of the day and the ability to develop a special attitude to these events. This style is defined by linguists as a single whole, its characteristic features are inherent in all types of newspaper genres. The style of the English language allows not to print official documents in newspapers, all of them are conveyed to the reader in a revised form. On the newspaper pages, you can most often find a large percentage of numerals, toponyms, anthroponyms, an abundance of dates, names of institutions and abstract words.

Colloquial style

Non-literary style (colloquial) in English is divided into several groups that actively exist next to each other: vulgarisms, dialectisms, slang and professionalisms. Vulgarisms are a separate group of words and phraseological units that border on rudeness and obscenity. Dialectisms are words and expressions that are not part of the literary language. Slang is a marked layer of colloquial speech, which is characterized by a pronounced emotional coloring. Professionalisms are words and phrases that are used in small social and professional groups and are essentially understood only by members of this group.

Advertising style

The language of advertising is a special direction in the English language, all the forms and styles involved in it take on a completely different special meaning. Advertising texts are often saturated with hyperbole, allusions, repetitions, even phraseological units are found in modified forms. The style is not only interesting from the point of view of sentence construction, but also allows you to fully rethink the meaning of words. It is he who pays sufficient attention to a variety of schools and English courses.
