1. Literary / high-flown / elevated vocabulary

Literary vocabulary includes bookish words, terms, poetic and archaic words, barbarisms and neologisms.

The stylistic function of poetic words is to create poetic images and make speech elevated. Their nature is archaic. Many of poetic words have lost their original charm and become hackneyed conventional symbols due to their constant repetition in poetry ): Albion (Britain), quoth (said); steed, courser (horse), sylvan (woody), eke (also), maiden (a young lady, foe (enemy), (очи, дева, гласить, зардеть во славу

Poetic words are used to:

- to create a solemn, lofty, elevated effect;

- to colour the utterance with a certain air of loftiness;

- to arouse aesthetic imagination

No longer current in ordinary speech, poetic words and archaic forms are associated by language users with the speech of remote eras; and it is well known that men are liable to view the past as more romantic than the times he lives in. Apart from it, their traditional use in poetry imparts the colouring of elevation.

I saw thee weep - the big bright tear

Came o’er that eye of blue;

And then methought it did appear

A violet dropping dew. (G.Byron)
