Abstract

Annotation 
This  article  discusses  the  nature  of  lexico-syntactical  stylistic  devices  as  a 
specific category in linguistics. It examines the aims and functions of devices such as 
simile,  periphrasis,  litotes,  gradation,  antithesis,  and  represented  speech.  Special 
attention is paid to how these means intensify speech and create a stylistic effect in 
modern English.
