Stylistických

Stylistických is a Czech adjective form meaning "relating to style" or "stylistic." It is the genitive plural form of the adjective stylistický, which derives from stylistika, the field that studies style in language and literature. In Czech, adjectives decline to agree with nouns in gender, number, and case, so stylistický has various forms such as stylistický (masculine singular), stylistická (feminine singular), stylistické (neuter singular or plural in some cases), stylističtí (masculine plural nominative), and stylistických (genitive plural).

In practice, stylistických occurs most often as genitive plural, for example in phrases describing multiple elements or aspects: prvky stylistických prostředků (elements of stylistic devices) or trendy in literární styl: stylistických trendů v díle. The form signals that the noun it modifies is in the genitive plural, which is common after certain prepositions or in noun phrases that express possession or description.

Usage and domain: The term appears frequently in linguistics, literary criticism, and translation studies, where discussions about language style, rhetorical devices, or authorial voice require precise adjectival agreement. It can modify a wide range of plural nouns connected with style, such as prvky (elements), prostředky (means/devices), trendy (trends), or prvotní rysy (initial traits) when in genitive plural.

Etymology and related terms: Stylistický stems from stylistika (stylistics) with the common Czech adjectival suffix -ický, formed from the base styl/styl. Related terms include stylistika (stylistics), stylistická analýza (stylistic analysis), and stylistický (masculine singular).
