What is Style?

The article attempts to define the term of style in literature. It briefly presents various approaches to style analysis – from monism, dualism and pluralism to most recent interpretations of style. The article tries to show some drawbacks of monism, dualism and pluralism, which are now out-of-date approaches. Most recent theories have introduced two new terms in style analyses; i.e. identity and identification. The article briefly tries to explain the differences between these two terms.
