Style as a Product of Three Structural Principles

This paper aims at investigating a specific scheme of analyzing sentence-structure as suggested by christensen (2001, 34-72). this scheme sets the ground for the identification of certain aspects of the phenomenon called style, relying on a specific set of simple yet powerful analytical procedures.style, especially in literature, might be very common, but it is still elusive. there is a huge disagreement on the style as a concept of a precise definition. this situation raises disputes concerning the set of descriptive categories required for an adequate linguistic account of literary style (see leech and short, 1995: 10- 38). different approaches have been suggested to contribute to a comprehensive view of style. however, they all investigate the same controversial area which is related to one usually raised question: what language features should we examine to elucidate text style?
