From the author: Despite their superficial similarity, there is an essential difference between stylistics's style and narratology's discourse, and this difference underlies the necessity for stylistics to draw upon narratology, and vice versa. Stylisticians have taken three main approaches in drawing on narratology: (1) the "mild" approach, which uses narratological concepts and models as frameworks for the investigation of style; (2) the "radical" approach, which attempts to incorporate narratology into stylistics; and (3) the "parallel" approach, which carry out both stylistic and narratological investigations in the same work or in two works by the same author. Each approach has advantages and disadvantages, and these lead to suggestions for future studies.
