This thesis examines the linguistic style of an episode of the dubbed series Avatar: The Last Airbender. The first part of the thesis focuses on stylistics, providing a definition of style and outlining the characteristics of language that may carry stylistic markers. In greater detail, the thesis presents Jože Toporišič’s model and the model developed by Leech and Short for linguistic-stylistic analysis. These two models are then applied to the language of the series to identify and describe its general linguistic-stylistic features.
