Explanation:

Linguistics is a science where a language structure at a word, sentence (syntax and


semantics) are analyzed and patterns across languages are recognized and standardized.
Literature is language used in its best form to create a lasting record of the human
experiences of all kinds scientific, cultural, social etc.,
A Linguist is more interested in breaking down and understanding the constituents of
language whereas a litterateur enriches it by his contribution.
Literature could give you lasting pleasure by savoring its output while linguistics would
help you learn a language quickly and be productive.
Ex. Literature is like a drink. Linguistics is like analyzing its ingredients and
where they are mined etc.

Stylistics is the study and interpretation of texts in regard to their linguistic and
tonal style. As a discipline, it links literary criticism to linguistics. It does not function
as an autonomous domain on its own, and can be applied to an understanding of
literature and journalism as well as linguistics

The first is that creativity and innovation in language use should not be seen as
the exclusive preserve of literary writing. Many forms of discourse (advertising,
journalism, and popular music--even casual conversation) often display a high
degree of stylistic dexterity, such that it would be wrong to view dexterity in
language use as exclusive to canonical literature. The second caveat is that the
techniques of stylistic analysis are as much about deriving insights about linguistic
structure and function as they are about understanding literary texts."
