Text style transfer is the task of modifying the stylistic attributes of a given text while preserving its original meaning. This task has also gained interest with the advent of large language models. Although knowledge graph augmentation has been explored in various tasks, its potential for enhancing text style transfer has received limited attention. This paper proposes a method to create a Style Knowledge Graph (SKG) to facilitate and improve text style transfer. The SKG captures words, their attributes, and relations in a particular style, that serves as a knowledge resource to augment text style transfer. We conduct baseline experiments to evaluate the effectiveness of the SKG for augmenting text style transfer by incorporating relevant parts from the SKG in the prompt. The preliminary results demonstrate its potential for enhancing content preservation and style transfer strength in text style transfer tasks, while the results on fluency indicate promising outcomes with some room for improvement. We hope that the proposed SKG and the initial experiments will inspire further research in the field.
