        the most generalized form of expression
  - - - pays more attention to the coordination of language means and stylistic devices
      - FS is a system of interrelated language means which serves a definite aim in communication.
      - the product of a certain concrete task set by the sender of the message.
      - appear mainly in the literary standard of the language.
      - Other schemes of FS may be elaborated.
      - FS is a relatively stable system at the given stage in the development of the literary language, but it changes from one period to another, influenced by changing social conditions, the progress of science and the development of cultural life.
      - Every functional style of language is marked by a specific use of language means.
      - Individual style is a unique combination of language units, expressive means and stylistic devices peculiar to a given writer, which makes that writer's works or even utterances easily recognizable. the individual style of a writer will never be entirely independent of the literary norms and canons of the given period.
      - Writers choose language means deliberately to achieve the effect they desire.
      - This process should be distinguished from language peculiarities which appear in everyday speech of particular individual (idiolect).
      - treats functional styles as patterns of the written variety of language excluding colloquial FS.
    - - Arnold connects the specific features of each FS with its peculiarities in the sphere of communication.
      - reject the existence of belles-letres style.
      - introduces the notion of language function characteristic for different FS.
        
        Intellectual-communicative function is connected with the transferring of intellectual ideas.
        
        Voluntary function serves for influencing the will-power and conscience of listener or reader.
        doubts that a separate poetic style exist
    - - singles out only two main functional styles:
        
        the language of science
        
        that of emotive literature
