Abstract

Although some believe that stylistics is a new knowledge, but the first scientists who paid attention to style were rhetoricians. Stylistic deviation is clearly evident in the rhetoric. Some of its rules are based on semantic deviation and others are based on the verbal deviation. Semantics rhetoric does not often deal with issues based on defamiliarization. Genetic stylistics attempts to relate the writer's emotions to his style. In rhetoric the poet's mood is evident; however, it has not been dealt with as it should have. Structural stylistics examines a literary work as one piece and considers words and their meanings in relation to other. Semantics also deals with some rules and issues in the same manner. Rhetoricians discussed composition only in one or a couple of sentences. Descriptive stylistics measures words and phrases with similar themes and talks about the different kinds of emotions that it creates. Semantics expresses some of its issues in the same way but to some extent, it becomes authoritative and dominant. In the phonetic stylistics, semantics has defined the condition of words and word fluency in relation to musical aspects, such as being devoid of cacophony, reluctant to listen, repetition, and so forth. The findings show that there is a close bond between stylistics and rhetorician especially that of semantics.
