As for the stylistic syntax
there are numerous cases of the usage of syntactic constructions which posses
stylistic properties:
Emphatic constructions:
“She, Mildred Orme, who
ought really…”
“Snubbed by a farmhand! a
tramp, perhaps.”
“…clever young women of
twenty, who are handsome”.
Detachment:
He vas a goot boy vat you can trust, dat Hans."
Rhetoric
constructions:
“Are there only
sight and sound to tell such things?”
“Publish her own confusion? No!”
“What could she
do? Turn and run, as a little child might? Spring into the wheat, as some
frightened four-footed creature would?”
Polysyndeton:
His shoulders were broad and square and his limbs
strong and clean.
Asyndeton:
It was summer time; she was idle; she was piqued, and
that was the beginning of the shameful affair.
Repetition:
"If you have a father, or brother, or any one, in
short, to whom you may say such things "
“Then, why ever it happened, or however it happened.”
Parallel constructions:
“He was young, and brown, of course, as the sun had
made him. He had nice blue eyes. His fair hair was dishevelled. His shoulders
were broad and square and his limbs strong and clean.”
“Last year he chose to drive an engine back and forth
across the plains. This year he tills the soil with laborers.”
“The house itself was big and broad, as country houses
should be. The master was big and broad, too.”
Anticlimax:
“…his arms were
holding Mildred and he kissed her lips… it was ten times or only once… him
disappear with rapid strides….”
