The study interprets authorial style as a complex aesthetic-linguistic phenomenon that forms at the intersection of linguistics, literary studies, and translation studies. The article systematically elucidates the historical development of the phenomenon of st yle, various theoretical approaches to it, and the primary components that serve to define authorial style.
