Resultative theory of style in the context of functional stylistics

The article deals with the main features of resultative theory of style (RTS), put in the context of functional stylistics - especially with regard to the concepts of the Prague School, dealing with the concept of style. Style is understood here as a triple result: 1) as a result of influence when stylistically relevant features are linked with the means of expression presented in the text and performed to the recipient, 2) as a result of application of rules relevant to creating texts of the particular kind (in the established Czech terminology stylové normy - stylistic norms, 3) as a result of influence of factors linked with the wider extralinguistic context (slohotvorní činitelé - stylistic factors, such as the function of the text, its supposed addressee, context, topic, author etc.). Another aspect dealt with is the possible ways of visualization of style (various kinds of stylistic maps) and stylistic models - these tools are meant to be used in practice by future philologists, teachers, and translators - and generally, by all who for specific needs of their professions need to explore style in any kind of texts.
