THE PROBLEM OF CLASSIFICATION OF STYLES IN THE ARMENIAN STYLIST STUDIES (FROM THE 1950S TO THE PRESENT DAY)

Stylistics was formed in modern times. The first concepts of stylistic phenomena were formed in Greece. Questions and problems of style were addressed by Socrates, Aristotle, Plato, Democritus and others from the ancient world thinkers. The ideas of Greek and Roman thinkers, having traveled a long way, have not lost their relevance and value. All this has been written about in the works of various Armenian and foreign linguists.In the article, we have studied the works written about phonetic stylistics of the Armenian language, the provisions in various researches. Reference was made to the different principles of classification of styles according to the situation, characteristics of the author's speech (individual styles) and so on. We have presented the functional styles that have become widespread in modern Armenian stylistics, the main types: official or formal, scientific, artistic literary, casual or informal, oratorical speaking (the language of Media). The methodological basis is the combination and analysis of existing theoretical provisions.
