Features of style

 The expression "include" has occured commonly in this chapter.We defineit essentially as the occurence in a content of etymological or elaborate category.Examples of phonetic classes are "nasal consonant","noun,"transitive verb","question","negative","future","colour term".Examples of expressive classifications are adjusted sentence,"alliteration,"personification".Stylistic classes are progressively intricate marvels which are regularly hard to define,but which are thought to be describable in tems of semantic categories,although they are a bit much piece of the depiction of a language.Wee need to allude to them beacause they are a critical component of style,but we will not by and large separate them formally from etymological categories......

Semantic classes are basically contrastive and subsequently their occurence involves the non-occurence of other categories:for precedent the occurence of a nasal consonant involves the non-occurence of a fricative consonant,a stop consonant,or a vowel.The contrastive nature of linuguistic classifications is clear in situations where the class name contains two words:for model transitive action word clearly diverges from different kinds of verb.In situations where there is just a single term (eg thing) there is dependably a discarded conventional term:a thing would be unequivocally named a "thing word"; a question,"a question sentence",and so on.It is the piece of the capacity of a phonetic hypothesis, and of its etymological portrayal of the English language,to indicate what phonetic classifications there are and what are the contrastive relations between them.We will not endeavor a point by point record of semantic classifications in this book,but will use quite far those which are all around ok known not to require explaination regarding some semantic hypothesis.
