Abstract
The core aim of this article is to analyze the text of poem "You start dying slowly” by Pablo Neruda on three different levels of stylistics: Pragmatic, Grammatical and Morphological level. This is a masterpiece by an amazing poet. It has a motif of the theme CARPE DIEM. It describes the beauty of life. It has, in its dearth, robust optimist, vigor and zest for life. Every line is a gospel of wisdom. It is an advice to live a better, more rewarding and fulfilling life. This poem is a brilliant creation of an eminent poet. This magic is apt enough to be even made a life mantra. Stylistics is one of one the branches of applied linguistics dealing with the study of style in texts. Katie Wale in dictionary for stylistics writes that the goal of stylistics is not only to describe the text and formal features of the text but to relate interpretation of literary texts with linguistic causes where they are fit to be relevant. The findings of this study will help the readers to understand the basic concepts of poem which writer has conveyed by using different stylistic devices.
