Annotation

In 1906-1909 Lev Shcherba undertook a mission in Western Europe, in Paris. It was as- signed by St. Petersburg scientific leader LA. Baudouin de Courtenay. L. Shcherba was obliged to write thesis. In Paris he worked together with President of International Phonetic Association Pole Passy who was an expert in making studies in phonetics. In Paris Lev Shcherba acquainted himself with books by the great British philologist Henry Sweet who taught colloquial English. It was a new period in linguistics and a new wave in philology. Pole Passy and Henry Sweet guided Lev Shcherba while he was writing the conception of pronunciation styles. Lev Shcherba formulated a method in phonostylistics which did not contrudiet to the one in writings by Pole Passy and Henry Sweet.
