Abstract

The paper focuses on the identification and analysis of a short story according to the
principles of pragmatic stylistics and discourse analysis. The focus on text analysis and
pragmatic stylistics is essential to text studies, comprehension of the message of a text and
conveying the intention of the producer of the text. The paper also presents a set of standards
of textuality and criteria from pragmatic stylistics to text analysis. Analyzing a text according
to principles of pragmatic stylistics means approaching the text’s meaning and the intention
of the producer.
