摘要：“All the fun is in how you say a thing.” Robert Frost’s words give us aperfect explanation about why style is important in a research. According to AlanWarner, style is a way of writing, a manner of expressing one’s thoughts and feelings inwords. A same meaning can have different effects on its readers by being put indifferent ways. This paper is to take the famous speech of Martin Luther King as anexample to analyze and discuss its stylistic characteristics. It is not only the spirit ofequality and liberty advocated in the speech but also its impressive style that contributeto its great success.In fact, the present study is divided into three sections: the first section deals withintroduction to stylistics; Stylistics and other linguistic principles. The second sectionconcerns itself with style—author; and clean English:the arrangement; the figure ofspeech; contrast & metaphor; and parallelism. Whereas the third section deals withconclusion. This researcher is going to pay an attention to notions developed bylinguists like Leech (1969), (1970) and Jakobson (1960), (1966), (1967), and (1968)since their notions are relevant to the aim of the present study.
