The stylistics of the Russian language studies the varieties of styles and their application in public life. Each style is characterized by the purpose of communication, the choice of linguistic means and the forms or genres in which it exists. The artistic style is no exception; it has its own characteristic features and characteristics.

Step 1
This style can otherwise be called the style of fiction. It is used in verbal and artistic creativity. Its main goal is to influence the feelings and thoughts of readers and listeners with the help of images created by the author.
Step 2
An artistic style (like any other) involves the selection of linguistic means. But in it, in contrast to the official business and scientific styles, all the richness of vocabulary, special imagery and emotionality of speech are widely used. In addition, he uses the possibilities of different styles: colloquial, journalistic, scientific and formal-business.
Step 3
The artistic style is distinguished by a special attention to the casual and the private, behind which the typical features and images of the time are visible. As an example, we can recall "Dead Souls", where N. V. Gogol portrayed landowners, each of whom is the personification of certain human qualities, but all of them together are the "face" of Russia in the 19th century.
Step 4
Another distinctive feature of the artistic style is the subjective moment, the presence of the author's fiction or the "re-creation" of reality. The world of a literary work is the world of the writer, where reality is presented through his vision. In a literary text, the author expresses his preferences, rejection, condemnation and admiration. Therefore, the artistic style is characterized by expressiveness, emotionality, metaphoricality and versatility.
Step 5
To prove your artistic style, read the text and analyze the language used in it. Pay attention to their diversity. In literary works, a large number of tropes are used (epithets, metaphors, comparisons, hyperboles, personifications, paraphrases and allegories) and stylistic figures (anaphores, antitheses, oxymorons, rhetorical questions and appeals, etc.). For example: "a little man with a fingernail" (litota), "a horse runs - the earth trembles" (allegory), "streams ran from the mountains" (personification).
Step 6
In the artistic style, the ambiguity of words is clearly manifested. Writers often discover additional meanings and meanings in them. For example, the adjective "lead" in the scientific or journalistic style will be used in its direct meaning "lead bullet" and "lead ore", in the artistic, most likely, it will act as a metaphor for "leaden twilight" or "leaden clouds".
Step 7
When parsing the text, be sure to pay attention to its function. If the conversational style serves for communication or communication, the formal business and scientific are informative, and the artistic style is intended for emotional impact. Its main function is aesthetic, which obeys all linguistic means used in a literary work.
Step 8
Determine in what form the text is implemented. The artistic style is used in drama, prose, and poetry. They are accordingly divided into genres (tragedy, comedy, drama; novel, story, short story, miniature; poem, fable, poem, etc.).
