4 5. The belles-lettres style Belles-lettres style is a generic term for three substyles in which the main principles and the most general properties of the style are materialized. These three sub-styles are: ' 1. The language of poetry, or simply verse. 2. Emotive p г о s e, or the language of fiction. 3. The language of the drama The function of belles-lettres style is twofold: a) to inform and communicate facts and ideas to the reader b) to affect the reader emotionally As regard to the poetry the order should be reverse. All the three sub-styles have quite a number of common features. But in spite of that each has individual characteristics as well. The element of emotion is definitely higher in poetry where the author reveals his feelings directly. Unlike poetry the number of colloquial elements will be larger in drama where the oral type of language is widely employed since the form of plays is basically that of dialogs.

A summary of the story “A Friend in Need”.

William Somerset Maugham, playwright, novelist and short story writer was born of British parents in Paris in 1874.

9 3. Apokoinu construction is characteristic of irregular oral speech, presents a blend of two clauses into one, which is achieved at the expense of the omission of the connecting word and the double syntactical function acquired by the unit occupying the linking position between both former clauses. e.g. I am the first one saw he – is the blend of the complex sentence I am the first one who saw her. Due to its contraction to the apokoinu construction syntactical functions of the first one – predicative of the first clause and who – subject of the second one – are both attributed to the first one which becomes the syntactical centre of the newly coined sentence. The main stylistic function of that device is to emphasize the irregular, careless or uneducated character of the speech of personages.   Inversion is an independent SD in which the direct word order is changed either completely so that the predicate (predicative) precedes the subject; or partially so that the object pr
