STYLISTIC ISSUES OF THE SYNTACTICAL WHOLE IN ARTISTIC PROSE (ON THE EXAMPLE OF SINCLAIR LEWIS’S “BABBIT”)
Journal Title: Науковий вісник Міжнародного гуманітарного університету. Серія «Філологія» - Year 2018, Vol 32, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper considers the issue of the syntactical whole as stylistic means in artistic prose. Different approaches to the term “style” are dwelt upon. Syntactical stylistics is the main conductor of emotions in the written type of language, so, correspondingly, any change of form will inevitably cause a slight modification of meaning. Sinclair Lewis’s novel “Babbit” was chosen to illustrate how syntactical whole performs its stylistic role in prose. In Sinclair Lewis’s “Babbitt”, on its higher, macro level, three main syntactical wholes were discovered and they were not of an equal length. Each syntactical whole on the micro level contained a key-word which was in most cases in the capital letter. In descriptive type of narration, the length of the paragraph was in most cases equal to the length of the syntactical whole. All the syntactical wholes on their micro level are arranged by means of parallelism.
