Three short stories , two English short stories by Ernest Hemingway and Bruce Holland Rogers and a Persian short story by Sadeq Choubak, have been analyzed for this paper. The study indicates that, by contrasting some linguistic elements, one can describe some personal style characteristics as well as certain cross language stylistic differences. It has been shown that English writers have used some linguistic elements frequently to keep a story coherent.
