10. Essential concepts of  emotive prose

The substyle of emotive prose has the same common features as has for the belles-lettres style in general; but all these features are correlated differently in emotive prose. The imagery is not so rich as it is in poetry; the percentage of words with contextual meanings is not so high as in poetry; the idiosyncrasy of the author is not so clearly discernible. It is a combination of the literary variant of the language, both in words and syntax, with the colloquial variant. It is more exact to define it as a combination of the spoken an written varieties of the language, inasmuch as there are always 2 forms of communication present – monologue (the writer’s speech) and dialogue (the speech of the characters).

The language of the writer conforms or is expected to conform to the literary norms of the given period in the development of the English literary language.

Emotive prose allows the use of elements from other styles as well. Thus we find elements of the newspaper style, the official style, the style of scientific prose.

Present-day emotive prose is to a large extent characterized by the breaking-up of traditional syntactical designs of the preceding periods.
