Abstract

One of the central concepts in considering the problems of formation and standardization of languages is the concept of codification, as in the process of codification, language norms are studied and recorded, which are then considered as an immanent property of literary language. The system of functional styles and stylistic means of their expression of the system permeates all language levels. Since the literary language of each nation and each epoch has its own system of functional styles and stylistic means, in accordance with the above issues, the focus of our study is the codification of functional styles and stylistic means of their expression in Chinese Wenyan and Baihua. The relevance of the study is due to the need to study the functional styles of the Wenyang and Baihua languages, as well as the literature on the stylistic codification of ancient China. A comprehensive analysis of aspects of the stylistic codification of ancient Chinese literature is needed to clearly illustrate the difference and originality of styles in the Wenyang and Baihua languages, as well as to demonstrate the idea of continuity in the formation of the above languages. The purpose of this scientific exploration is to study the functional styles of the Wenyan and Baihua languages and the processes of stylistic codification of ancient China. The comparative method, descriptive method for classification and interpretation of the studied linguistic phenomena, historical and comparative historical methods were used in the work. The subject of the research is the main functional styles of the Wenyan and Baihua languages. The object of research is the processes of codification and formation of the main functional styles of the Wenyan and Baihua languages. The history of stylistic codification, the study of literary forms and types of text in the Wenyan and Baihua languages provides important material for the study and explanation of the linguistic phenomena of modern Chinese. A comprehensive analysis of the history and concept of stylistic codification of traditional forms of literature and types of text can give rise to new scientific explorations in the field of stylistics and translation studies.
