The aim of the course is to familiarise students with the distinctive features of speech in various spheres of the Persian language (including everyday, formal, academic, journalistic and literary contexts), with the diversity of linguistic and stylistic means of the Persian language for the full and effective conveyance of information in accordance with the purpose and conditions of communication, as well as with the specifics of translating texts of various functional styles. A description is provided of the expressive means and stylistic resources of the Persian literary language, which are analysed in terms of their mechanisms of formation, spheres of usage and principles of selection depending on the aims and circumstances of communication. Differences in the understanding of the subject and object of stylistic study in Ukrainian and Iranian philological scholarship are analysed. The course examines the peculiarities of translating Persian-language texts of various functional styles. The course comprises two main sections. The first section is devoted to general issues of stylistics as an academic discipline in Ukrainian and Iranian philological studies. The second part examines the peculiarities of the use of specific linguistic and stylistic devices in Persian-language texts of various functional styles and their translation into Ukrainian. The course ‘Stylistics of the Persian Language’ forms part of the comprehensive course ‘Theory and History of the Persian Language’. Teaching takes the form of lectures and seminars. The course concludes with a mid-term assessment.
