This article explores the multifaceted nature of stylistic lexicology in the English language, examining how stylistic elements influence word choice, connotations, and language registers. Stylistic lexicology bridges the gap between lexicology, the study of words and vocabulary, and stylistics, the study of style in language. The interaction between these two linguistic fields creates an essential framework for analyzing how language is used to convey meaning in diverse contexts, such as literary works, everyday communication, and professional discourse.
