Poetic Style.

The positive peculiarity of this classification is the presence of colloquial style. Singling out poetic and scientific styles seems valid too. The only problem is newspaper style, because the diversity of genres in newspapers is undoubtful. However, the linguist does not pay enough attention to this diversity [15: 169].

O. Morokhovsky defines five functional styles:

In opinion of the linguist Yu. Screbnev this classification is quite successful. Each item is discussed, each style has a combination of distinctive features. Besides, O. Morokhovsky's classification is one of the few that attempt to differentiate and arrange hierarchically the system of cardinal linguistic notions.

V. Kukharenko singles out such functional styles:

This classification is rather positive in the opinion of Yu. Screbnev.

Yu. Stepanov's classification is based on the principle that the difference between language and speech is inessential. One of the functional styles is said to be the neutral style (the norm), others are stylistically coloured. Thus, the classification is the following:

I. Correct Speech:

1) Poetic Language;

2) Language of Imaginative Literature;

3) The Bookish Style:

a) administrative;

b) juridical;

c) scientific.

4) The Colloquial Style.

II. Popular Speech:

1) Argot;

2) Jargon.

However, this classification is based on the popular classification of J. Vinay and J. Darbelnet (1958). The national language is subdivided by them into bon usage (correct speech) and langue vulgaire (ungrammatical speech).

M. Brandes defines five functional styles:

K. Dolinin solves the problem of classification by paying attention to three basic distinctive features, positively or negatively characterizing every type of speech: emotional, spontaneous, and normative. Each may be either present or absent. Thus, his classification is the following:

1. Emotional normative conversation: literary colloquial speech.

2. Emotional non-normative conversation: familiar colloquial speech.

3. Emotional non-spontaneous literary speech: publicistic style, oratorial style, style of literary narrative.
