The course acquaints students with basic concepts of linguistic stylistics and stylistic theory, esp. the British theory of
registers. It concentrates on stylistic analysis of different sorts of texts, based on identification of stylistically relevant features.
Its objective is to develop awareness of stylistic distinctions on different language levels, and to cultivate stylistically
appropriate use of English in different communicative situations.
