1
This style can otherwise be called the style of fiction. It is used in verbal and artistic creation. Its main goal is to influence the feelings and thoughts of readers and listeners with the help of images created by the author.
2
Artistic style (like any other) involves the selection of language tools. But in it, in contrast to the official business and scientific styles, all the richness of vocabulary, the special imagery and emotionality of speech are widely used. In addition, he uses the possibilities of different styles: conversational, journalistic, scientific and official business.
3
The artistic style is distinguished by a special attention to casual and particular, behind which are visible typical features and images of the time. As an example, we can recall the "Dead Souls", where N.V. Gogol portrayed the landowners, each of which is an embodiment of certain human qualities, but all of them together are the "face" of Russia of the 19th century.
4
Another distinguishing feature of the artistic style is the subjective moment, the presence of author's fiction or the "re-creation" of reality. The world of literary work is the world of the writer, where reality is represented through his vision. In a literary text, the author expresses his preferences, rejections, condemnations and admiration. Therefore, expressiveness, emotionality, metaphoricalness and versatility are inherent in the artistic style.
5
To prove the artistic style, read the text and analyze the language tools used in it. Pay attention to their diversity. In literary works, a large number of paths are used (epithets, metaphors, comparisons, hyperbolas, avatars, periphrases and allegories) and stylistic figures (anaphors, antitheses, oxymorons, rhetorical questions and appeals, etc.). For example: “a peasant with a marigold” (litota), “a horse runs - the earth trembles” (allegory), “streams ran from the mountains” (personification).
6
In the artistic style, the ambiguity of words is clearly manifested. Writers often discover additional meanings and meanings in them. For example, the adjective "lead" in the scientific or journalistic style will be used in its direct meaning "lead bullet" and "lead ore", in the art, most likely, it will act as a metaphor for "lead twilight" or "lead clouds".
7
When analyzing the text, be sure to pay attention to its function. If the conversational style is for communication or communication, the formal business and scientific ones are informative, and the artistic style is intended for emotional impact. Its main function is aesthetic, which obeys all the language means used in a literary work.
8
Determine in what form the text is implemented. Artistic style is used in drama, prose and poetry. They are respectively divided into genres (tragedy, comedy, drama; novel, novel, short story, miniature; poem, fable, poem, etc.).
note
The basis of the artistic style is the literary language. But often it uses colloquial and professional vocabulary, dialecticism and vernacular. This is due to the desire of writers to create a special unique author's style and give the text a vivid imagery.
Useful advice
Style can be determined only by the totality of all the attributes (functions, a set of language tools, form of implementation).
