Isi artikel

The development of literary approaches to appreciate texts offers distinctive ways and purposes. The various approaches offered so far are about post-structuralism, postmodernism, feminist, gender, post colonialism, and some others. Those are practiced by scholars who are interested in studying literature. Studying literature means studying text, so language enthusiasts attempt to appreciate it by applying a different approach, stylistics. Stylistics is the study of style in language use including literary works. What makes this method different from other literary criticism is the employment of the linguistic features in the texts: graphology, phonology, lexis, and syntax (Verdonk, 2002). The researches done by some researchers reviewed in this article prove that stylistic analysis is an applicable and effective way to appreciate literary work. The existence of certain linguistic features in literary work is able to prove how linguistic features constitute meanings and effects. The grammatical sentences in the work compose the meanings and effects of it. Consequently, more understanding literary work can be reached.
