Introduction
Every type of speech uses its own lingual sub-systems every of which consists of linguistic units common to all the sub-systems and specific linguistic units, to be found only in the given dub-system. Consequently, specific spheres differentiating the sub-systems and types of speech may be called their styles, or, style may be defined as the specific sphere of the given sub-system. As style is a complex of lexical, grammatical and other peculiarities by which a certain type of speech is characterized, we can also speak about connotation of a linguistic unit. What is more, in the nowadays scientific discourse two branches of linguistics seem to be especially well-established, namely stylistics and lexicology.
Considering their interrelations, the goal of the term paper is to analyse the notion of meaning in stylistics as complementing to the notion of meaning in lexicology. To attain the goal, we set the following objectives:
1) to discuss the notion of meaning in stylistics,
2) to examine the notion of meaning in lexicology
3) to look into the notion of meaning in stylistics as complementing to the notion of meaning in lexicology
Theretofore, the object is considered as stylistics and the subject is the notion of meaning in stylistics as complementing to the notion of meaning in lexicology.

Conclusion
As a result of the work, the following conclusion is to be drawn. The most essential feature of a word is that it expresses the concept of a thing, process, phenomenon, naming (denoting) them. Concept is a logical category, its linguistic counterpart is meaning. First of all, meaning is the unity of generalization, communication and thinking. Stylistics is a domain where meaning assumes paramount importance, as the term "meaning" is applied not only to words, word-combinations, sentences but also to the manner of expression into which the meaning is cast. Secongly, grammatical meaning refers our mind to relations between words or to some forms of words or constructions bearing upon their structural functions in the language-as-a-system. Grammatical meaning can thus be adequately called “structural meaning”. Finally, the number, importance and the overlapping character of connotative meanings incorporated into the semantic structure of a word, are brought forth by the context that is a concrete speech act that identifies and actualizes each one. In the semantic actualization of a word the context plays a dual role: on one hand, it cuts off all meanings irrelevant for the given communicative situation.
As for lexicology, the systems of meanings of polysemantic words evolve gradually. The older a word is the better developed is its semantic structure. The normal pattern of a word's semantic development is from monosemy to a simple semantic structure encompassing only two or three meanings, with a further movement to an increasingly more complex semantic structure.
In conclusion, it is necessary to emphasize that the notion of meaning in stylistics does complement the notion of meaning in lexicology. Lexicology is more concerned of a word as a lexical unit with its peculiars, whereas stylistics deals with word’s features in means of its stylistic functions.
