a means of characterization

Morphological EM and SD

Prof. Screbnev -

Morphological stylistics = the stylistic potentials of Grammar forms

EM = stylistically marked member of the paradigmatic opposition

He remembers it = He does remember it.

scarcity of morphological EM due to the analytical character of the English language

SD = form transposition = violation of usual distribution of morphemes in context

Transpositio n = a divergence between the traditional usage of a morpheme and its situational (stylistic) usage.

Play of morphemes creates occasional, contextually bound words:

• They were toing and froing. ( Ch.Dickens )

“Не можу, не вмію перекладати датські вірші, написані до дат, на випадок, за зобов”язанням.” ( Л. Васил”єва)

Militant feminists grumble that history is exactly what it says, - His-story, and not Her-story at all“ (J. Robinson)

Transposition of the categories of different parts of speech

Adjectives – degree of comparison

"Ferrari" is the most Italian car which you can meet in this remote corner of the world;

The orangemostest drink in the world.

He is the most married man I’ve ever met

Pronouns – in low colloquial speech: body instead of one =

“…. And it fetched us a dollar a day apiece – more than body could tell what to do with”. (M.Twain)
