SEMANTIC AND STYLISTIC ANALYSIS OF LITERARY TEXTS

The notion of word and its meaning is paramount importance in stylistics. A word as a language sign represents a concept by its forms and meanings. By concept it represents a general idea of some phenomenon, both objective (existing in the material form) and subjective (including feelings and emotions of people). By form a word shows its relation to other form within a sentence. So, the word meaning always directs the mind to the object and represents its membership in the language system. Word meaning is not a simple but a very complex matter.
