    This document discusses style as deviation from linguistic norms or rules. It defines deviation as disobeying the laws or grammar that others follow. There are different types of linguistic deviation including discourse, semantic, lexical, morphological, phonological, and graphological deviations.

    DEVIATION

    Style as Deviation

    Style as deviation results from breaking a certain grammar's rules and appears in
    particular grammatical errors in writings. The definition of the term "norm" in this context
    is the grammar from which deviations are created. Deviation is disobeying the laws that
    others follow. It should be noted that deviation can occur at different linguistic levels. In
    the literary community, deviation is referred to as "poetic license" or "writer's license."
    We can have discourse, semantic, lexical, morphological, phonological and
    graphological, as well as internal and external deviation.

    Linguistic Deviation, an unexpected irregularity in a part of a text which is signaled as


    crucial to the understanding of what is written. A line is marked in Stylistic; the line
    deviates from Standard English linguistic rules. The Deviation has a psychological effect
    (Foregrounding) on readers and hearers, because that deviant part becomes more
    noticeable.

    Foregrounding is more visible; Backgrounding is less visible.

    There are different kinds of deviation:

    1. Discourse deviation.

    2. Semantic deviation.

    3. Lexical deviation.

    4. Morphological deviation.

    5. Phonological and graphological deviation.

    6. Internal and external deviation.


    1. Discourse Deviation- when we don't follow the prototypical discourse situation (a
    conversation between 2 people in a context of situation)

     Text should begin at the beginning:

     Prototype is a conversation between two people.

    Written communication → No context shared. A text could begin from the middle and
    not from the start. Discourse is different from Conversation: The first is more complex,
    has a context and involves ideological point of view. Conversation involves more people
    talking

    2. Semantic Deviation - when the meaning relations are logically inconsistent or


    paradoxical

    Example: midwinter spring.

    3. Lexical Deviation - creation of new word that did not exist previously.
    (Neologism)

    Example: Sick-Good.

    4. Morphological Deviation - There is Morphological Deviation when: The writer


    adds an ending to a word would be not normally be added to.

    Example: perhapless.

    5. Phonological and Graphological Deviation- the written equivalent of


    phonological is the graphological level, because of the relations between writing
    and speech. The implications of meaning and significance have to do with how
    we might read the text out loud that is through capital letters. (Capital letter would
    have special pronunciation, more marked, saying it louder, more slowly and wide
    pitch span.) Words are pronounced or stressed oddly.

    Example: "wind-waind' to follow to a rhyme scheme; Spaces between words, absence


    of punctuation and the use of asterisks. (*)

    6. Internal and External Deviation - deviation from some norm which is internal or
    external to the text.

     External → it includes, for example, English language, genre norms or period


    norms.

     Internal →the norm is set up by the text itself. Internal Deviation often is the
    opposite of parallelism. Example: A poem has a parallel structure or a
    particular style and, in a certain point, that structure or style change with a
    foregrounding effect.
