Phonetic Stylistic Means: Definition of Onomatopoeia Onomatopoeia refers to a word that phonetically mimics or resembles the sound of the thing it describes. For example, the words we use to describe the noises that animals make are all onomatopoetic, such as a dog’s “bark,” a cat’s “meow,” or a coo’s “moo.” Interestingly, the onomatopoetic words for animal sounds change quite a bit from one language to another, as the words must fit into the larger linguistic system.

Hello! The new term began and our group have several new subjects. One of them "Stylistics and analytical reading". We start our studying from stylistics.

I have never faced with  this discipline. But i have an idea what it explores. Stylistics is a little branch of linguistics. I think that it explores language styles, styles of speech and their features. Also it studies poetic figures. Last year we had such subject "Literary criticism". I think that passing this course will help me to understand stylistics better.

I hope that i will learn all terms and will understand how to determine correct styles and genres.

I wish to all students who read this blog successfully end this course!
