Abstract
This article examines stylistics and register as fundamental determinants of
meaning in language and translation, arguing that meaning is not an inherent property
of words or grammatical structures but is constructed dynamically through contextual,
functional, and stylistic choices. Drawing on functional linguistics and translation
theory, the study demonstrates that stylistic variation encodes attitudes, emotions, and
cultural values, while register organizes language according to situational parameters
such as field, tenor, and mode. Through detailed theoretical discussion and illustrative
examples, the paper shows that translation requires not only semantic equivalence but
also the reconstruction of stylistic and register-based meaning. The article’s
contribution lies in its systematic integration of stylistics and register into a unified
framework for understanding meaning, highlighting their inseparability in both
linguistic analysis and translation practice.
