Stylistics
editThanks for your email. I'm glad you appreciate my input. The proposed ammendments are fine. Go ahead. I wasn't sure myself about the 'phonology' heading. The main point of these paragraphs seems to be about the stress placed on particular syllables, so 'word choices' is probably a bit too general - but can act as place-saver. By the way, you might like to have a look at the literary language article. As far as I can see, there is a confusion here between 'literary language' (of the sort you are addressing on the Stylistics article) and the conventions of written language as opposed to spoken language. I'm sure you could help them sort it out!--Ethicoaestheticist 21:06, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Redundant link?
edit"Linguist" is not a page in its own right, but rather a disambiguation page--that is, a page that links to relevant articles. Of these links, the relevant article is "Linguistics," which is already linked to several times on the stylistics page, most prominently in the infobox on the right. That was my rationale for deleting the link as redundant, and there my interest in the question ends. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Disambiguation might persuade you, though, that the change I made was SOP for these types of links.
