Abstract: |
The style is inseparable from the reference of the code used, i.e. the language, hence it seems necessary to contemplate the stylistic phenomena which are duplicates, effects and citations, which are a collective cultural stock that witnessed transformations and changes, and became individual formulas. As style is a sign that reveals its users in their relationships with the plural and the general. This is what Gerard Genette seeks through his orientation towards establishing a semiotic definition of style in relation to other aspects of discourse, especially significance - in the absence of a convincing definition of the concept of style and its scope. In his work, he takes style back to the potential of the common public language, the potential and available to all, that is what constitutes the subject of the theory of style, and not the distinct private individual use (in literary works as Spitzer sees for example). In Genette's view, style theory is neither stylistic, nor literary stylization in particular. What determines the style is the expressive value or function of the linguistic sign, that confirms the insufficiency of the linguistics, especially the semantics, in examining the significance of the style and its function, and pushes the stylistic event to the field of semiotics, Stylistic phenomena, with their individual characteristics, social affiliations, and cultural features, become elements within a semiotic system, in which has been thinking through a broader perspective than the semiotics of the language that Genette worked through
