This paper is about a new trend in Stylistics called “Robotic Stylistics” whose subject matter is the linguistic outcome of robots. It investigates the possibility of making the robotic linguistic outcome the subject matter of stylistics, since robots are able to choose what they want to say due to their algorithms that enable them to make a choice.
The field of artificial intelligence has developed and prospered in the recent years and entered the linguistic domain introducing a whole new sub-discipline of linguistics knows as Computational Linguistics. It helps linguists increase their knowledge of how the human brain works and how it processes language. Robotic stylistics will be concerned with the analysis and study of the style of robotic linguistic outcome using the same linguistic techniques that are used in the ordinary stylistic investigation of human literary and non-literary texts in order to discover the kind of style a robot has, how recurrent it is, and what it reveals about robots or artificial intelligence in general. However, there are many problems in this field especially in the case of obtaining the adequate data for analysis.
