What is the meaning of stylistics

With that stylistics is the study of language style which is a part of linguistics that focuses on
variations in the use of language but does not exclusively pay special attention to the complex
use of language in literature.

stylistic elements

For Nurgiyantoro, the important elements to be discussed in stylistics include; elements of


ponology, lexical, structure, figurative language (expression), rhetorical means (structural
manipulation), imagery, and cohesion.

1. Ponology
The things studied in phonology are rhyme and rhythm. Rhyme is a sound that
repeats itself, both within and at the end of a line. The aspects of rhyme (Maman,
2005: 31-32) are assonance (repetition of vowel sounds), alliteration (repetition of
consonant sounds), inner rhyme (repetition of sounds, both assonance and alliteration,
within words in one line), rhyme ending, rhyme way (repetition of sounds, both
vowels and consonants whose graphic form is the same but the pronunciation is
different), identical rhymes (repetition of the same word), and perfect rhyme (a form
of repetition between vowels and consonants)
Rhythm is a blend that contains melodic elements, both loud and soft, high and
low, long and short, and weak and strong. Rhythm appears only in the oral discourse
of poetry
2. Lexical
The lexical elements that build a poem refer to the poet's use of diction or choice
of words. How the poet uses words that can represent the course of a story. According
to Nurgiyantoro (2005: 289), lexical elements have the same meaning as diction,
which refers to the notion of using certain words that the poet deliberately chooses.
3. Grammatical
According to Nurgiyantoro (2005: 296), grammatical elements are elements that
refer to sentence structure. The grammatical element refers to the notion of sentence
structure. In analyzing grammatical elements, you can use questions. The questions
were directed at the complexity of sentences, types of sentences, and types of clauses
and phrases.
4. rhetoric
Rhetoric is a way of using language to obtain aesthetic effects. The rhetorical
medium consists of various elements as follows.
a. Exposure
b. Structural Investigating
c. imaging
