Scientific prose style , The first and most noticeable feature of this style is the logical sequence of utterances with clear indication of their interrelations and interdependence. It will not be an exaggeration to say that in no other functional style do we find such a developed and varied system of connectives., Language of drama, The author's speech is almost entirely excluded; the language of this genre is entirely dialogue., Publicist style, The general aim of this style, which makes it stand out as a separate one, is to exert a constant and deep influence on public opinion, to convince the reader or the listener that the interpretation given by the writer or the speaker is the only correct one and to cause him to accept the point of view expressed in the speech, essay or article not merely through logical argumentation but through emotional appeal as well., Belles-lettres style, "Aesthetic-cognitive" function. This is a double function which aims at the cognitive process, which secures the gradual unfolding of the idea to the reader and at the same time calls forth a feeling of pleasure, a pleasure which is derived from the form in which the content is wrought., The style of official documents, The main aim of this type of communication is to state the conditions binding two parties in an undertaking., Language of poetry (verse), The rhythmic aspect calls forth syntactical and semantic peculiarities which also fall into a more or less strict orderly arrangement. Both the syntactical and semantic aspects may be defined as compact, for they are held in check by rhythmic patterns. Both syntax and semantics comply with the restrictions imposed by the rhythmic pattern, and the result is brevity of expression, epigram-like utterances, and fresh, unexpected imagery. Syntactically this brevity is shown in elliptical and fragmentary sentences, in detached constructions, in inversion, asyndeton and other syntactical peculiarities., The style of official documents 2, The most striking, though not the most essential feature, is a special system of cliches, terms and set expressions by which each substyle can easily be recognized., Belles-lettres style 2, The psychological element, pleasure, is not irrelevant when evaluating the effect of the communication. This pleasure is caused not only by admiration of the selected language means and their peculiar arrangement but also (and this is perhaps the main cause) by the fact that the reader is led to form his own conclusions as to the purport of the author., Publicist style 2, Due to its characteristic combination of logical argumentation and emotional appeal, this style has features in common with two other styles., Scientific prose style 2, The language means used in this particular style tend to be objective, precise, unemotional, devoid of any individuality; there is a striving for the most generalized form of expression. The necessity to penetrate deeper into the essence of things and phenomena gives rise to new concepts, which require new words to name them..
