Stylistic analysis of Arabic and English texts

Abstract EN

The undertaken study is based on the stylistic analysis of an Arabic text and an English one in which how the writer uses linguistic features like adjectives, nouns, conjunctions, sentence complexity to portray the social and cultural conditions of his texts.

Stylistics is the study of stylistic variation in languages and of the way in which this is exploited by their users.

This definition is certainly general enough as it covers that those who use the term’ stylistics’ would want to be covered by it.

In this study, the model of Mick Short will be followed to analyze the two texts.

The researcher presents in the appropriate numbers and frequency rates of the content words of each text and shows the social reasons behind using such words.
