This paper is focused on the structural aspects of a multidimensional, system‐dynamics model of stylistic processing. Styles are distinguished as cognitive, affective, and cognitive‐affective constructs, depending on their association with either cognitive abilities, affective traits, or both. A hierarchy of styles is proposed in which three general styles described as rational, empirical, and metaphoric are indicated as higher‐order constructs which subsume three style subhierarchies and are conceptually linked to similar hierarchies of cognitive abilities and affective traits.
