Language itself forms an important part of any (сообщения) being conveyed and is used in different ways in (различных типах) of texts. Approaching the study and analysis of (отличительных особенностей языка) of different kinds of texts involves (рассмотрение) how language is patterned and structured within texts and (взаимосвязь) between (контекстом), and form.

All speakers and writers make decisions about the kinds of language they use. The speaker or writer and the intended (читатели и слушатели) are (участники) and their roles, (отношения) between them, as well as the degree of shared knowledge of (контекста), all have bearing on what is communicated. (Содержание) will also determine the degree of formality and (стиль речи) in which the text is communicated.

By considering the stylistic features used in spoken and written varieties of English, students can gain insight into the effect the speaker or writer is trying (достигнуть), why the speaker or writer has chosen particular stylistic features, and how the speaker or writer uses language (чтобы оказать влияние на) their respective audiences.

Languages may be synthetic and analytical according to their structure. In synthetic languages, such as for instance Russian, the grammatical relations between words are expressed by means on inflections.

In analytical languages, such as English, the grammatical relations between words are expressed by means of form words and word order. Analytical forms are mostly proper to verbs. An analytical verb-form consists of one or more form words, which have no lexical meaning and only express one or more of the grammatical categories of person, number, tense, aspect, voice, mood: e.g. He has come; I am reading.
