摘要:“All the fun is in how you say a thing.” Robert Frost’s words give us a perfectexplanation about why style is important in a research. According to Alan Warner, style is a wayof writing, a manner of expressing one’s thoughts and feelings in words. A same meaning canhave different effects on its readers by being put in different ways. This paper is to take thefamous speech of Martin Luther King as an example to analyze and discuss its stylisticcharacteristics. It is not only the spirit of equality and liberty advocated in the speech but also itsimpressive style that contribute to its great success.In fact, the present study is divided into three sections : the first section deals with introductionto stylistics; Stylistics and other linguistic principles. The second section concerns itself withstyle—author; and clean English:the arrangement; the figure of speech; contrast & metaphor;and parallelism. Whereas the third section deals with conclusion. This researcher is going to payan attention to notions developed by linguists like Leech (1969), (1970) and Jakobson (1960),(1966), (1967), and (1968) since their notions are relevant to the aim of the present study.
