IX. Stylistic connotations stand somewhat apart for two reasons. Firstly, some scholars do not regard the word’s stylistic characteristic as a connotative component of its semantic structure. Secondly, stylistic connotations are subject to further classification, namely: colloquial, slang, dialect, poetic, terminological, archaic. Here again we are dealing with stylistically marked words, but this time we approach the feature of stylistic characteristics from a different angle: from the point of view of synonyms’ frequent differentiation characteristics.
Here are some examples of synonyms which are differentiated by stylistic connotations. The word in brackets starting the group shows the denotation of the synonyms.
(Girl). Girlie (coll.) – девушка, особенно стриптизёрша; lass, lassie (dial.); bird, birdie, jane, fluff, skirt (sl.), maiden (poet.) – дева; damsel (arch.) – девица.
