Stylistics is essentially a mediation area between literary criticism and linguistics and it has no autonomous domain of its own (Widdowson, 1975: 3,4). Its purpose, then, is to link linguistics and literary criticism. To achieve this aim, it is suggested that by extending the linguist’s literary intuitions and the critic’s linguistic observations alike and make their relation explicit, we may reach the above-mentioned aim (Widdowson, 1975: 5-6; and Leech and Short, 1981: 13-14). A question usually asked: ‘At which end ought we to start, the critical or the linguistic?’ In point of fact, there is a cyclic motion between the two. The linguistic observation may stimulate or modify literary insight; the literary insight stimulates further linguistic observation and so on. This motion sometimes takes the form of a cycle exactly like the cycle of theory formulation and theory testing. But we shall take our starting point as with linguistics to stylistically study Joyce’s ‘Eveline’
