Impact of Style

Research output: Working paper/discussion paper › Web article › Popularizing

Abstract

When reading a book we mention a lot: the plot, the characters, different narrative perspectives, and also style. Everyone can more or less “feel” style, but that is why it is so difficult to define. Speaking about style from a linguistic and literary perspective we should think about choice of words, length and complexity of sentences, use of metaphorical expressions, but this is not what we are constantly aware of while reading. What makes us mention style and if we do that, what are the aspects to be named?
