Abstract
The starting point for the author’s considerations is the conception of style as the humanistic structure of text, which he uses as the foundation of integrating stylistic synthesis. The synthesis is to be characterized by the following: 1) holism (moderately and functionally directed, brought down to a system in which relations connecting different manners of the existence and functioning of language in text are exposed); 2) integrationism (integrating knowledge of language reality, primarily of the functioning of language in text); 3) intermethodologism and transdisciplinariness. Acceptance of this conception of style offers – regarding the understanding of it – a very broad and open cognitive space. There may appear in it different frameworks which present diverse faces of style and stylistics. Their cognitive use enriches the integrative synthesis.
