In recent years, the field of stylistics has witnessed significant transformations, incorporating insights from communication theory and cognitive science. Two of the most influential trends are communicative stylistics, which emphasizes the functional and contextual use of language in various communication settings, and cognitive stylistics, which explores how linguistic structures interact with mental processes to create meaning. This article aims to provide an overview of these trends, their theoretical foundations, and their applications in literary and non-literary texts
