Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how Stilistik appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Die Stilistik untersucht Stil unter vielen verschiedenen Aspekten (besonderer Stil eines Werkes, Stilmerkmale einer Gattung, etc.) und vergleicht Stile miteinander.
„Spricht z. B. die Stilistik von Stilnormen, Stilelementen, Stilzügen, um die stilistische Textqualität zu bestimmen, so muß sie auf lexikologische Kategorien zurückgreifen; denn stilistische Qualitäten beruhen auch auf den lexikalischen Eigenschaften der Sprachmittel.“
