This study presents the analysis of a small corpus of online language taken from microblog site Instagram, examining the language characteristic focusing on the linguistic deviations. As a representation of CMC, Instagram allows its user to do a free communication with another users talking about personal experience or discussing anything that matches their interest without any limitation of characters. The data used in this research was in the form of words, phrases, clauses and fragments taken from Instagram Posts’ comments. The result shows that linguistic deviations found in Instagram are non-standard capital letters, over-used of punctuations, emoji, repeating characters, laughter, abbreviations, and grammatical deviation. Online language is believed to be creative and unique and those linguistic features indicate that online language on is a combination between written and spoken communication and it has opened avenues of online language that is not accessible with “correct English”.

Holiness as the subject of Wesleyan holiness theology is not only God’s divine language but also an experiential language of humans. Despite this fact, research that considers the religious linguistic features of holiness theology as they relate to its meaning and effects in the real lives of believers seems to have been neglected. Thus, this article proposes to examine the language of holiness in terms of Wesleyan holiness theory by means of speech act theory. First, this approach solves the problem of overcoming the proposition principle of holiness theology. Second, it shows an understanding of the linguistic hermeneutics of the work of the Holy Spirit in believers. And finally, it presents the ways in which the religious divine language of holiness can be described as an ethical language characteristic of human experiential language.

Mental lexicon is a storage which holds the data about everything we know until it is required to be used. Onyms are stored in the mental lexicon in the form of concepts as individual units of knowlegde which reflect personal experience of the human being. The goal of the research is to explore the common ways of associative comprehension of proper names in order to better understand their essence and meanings they exhibit. The view is substantiated that transition from traditional to cognitive onomastic research will help to settle disputes among onomasticians and language philosophers as to the controversial subject of semantic and referential status of proper names. The study is carried out on the material of the English official horse names as they are considered to be one of the proper name classes with the highest degree of arbitrariness of nomination. In this research, the author conducts a free associative experiment with 250 English native speakers. As the experimental material 5 stimuli of official hipponyms were chosen as well as the results of a free associative experiment of total quantity of 1136 reactions. The result of the study was the conclusion that the ways of associative identification of onyms depend not only on our presuppositional knowledge, direct or indirect experience in connection to a certain proper name, but also on a set of proprial and linguistic features peculiar to each name. The specificity of each proper name in this sense will determine the main mechanism of its associative identification.

Background. The description of the concepts “text”, “style”, “idiolect”, “idiostyle” indicates how much their content does not coincide. In the process of perceiving and understanding the text, the presuppositions and implications, which are components of the implicit information of the entire text, must be restored by the recipient in whole or in part, otherwise the understanding of the text will be incomplete, partial or not achieved at all. Therefore, the mechanism for reconstructing implicitness is one of the most important and universal laws of understanding a work.The purpose of the article is to define the concept of “idiostyle” and consider various approaches to this concept due to the peculiarities of the creative manner of writing of F. M. Dostoevsky, in particular the category of implicitness.Methods. In this work, we resort to such methods as descriptive and linguo-stylistic analysis, because the question of idiostyle in the last decade has acquired a complex character, in accordance with which the analysis of F. M. Dostoevsky’s idiostyle requires a multilevel approach. The research methods are determined by the concept of studying the integrity of the artistic image of a work of art, determined by the intersection of semantics and stylistics.Results. The article gives a general representation of the main features and mechanisms of text formation, exposing the characterological features of F. M. Dostoevsky’s idiostyle, in particular the place and role of the category of implicitness. We perceive discourse as the nature of the presentation of the writer’s works and his distinctive linguistic features. We recognize idio discourse as the communicative and artistic space of the author and the reader, which, in the aggregate and interaction of all its aspects, forms an integral communicative environment into which everyone who participates in the process of communicative activity immerses. The principles of the discourse – text – idiodiscourse – idiostyle correlation are described, idiostyle is defined as an object of linguistics research, the idiostyle and linguistic picture of the world of F. M. Dostoevsky are analyzed, the category of implicitness in the writer's idiodiscourse is considered, the concepts of implicitness, subtext, implication and presupposition are distinguished.Discussion. The appeal to the implicative potential of the detail made it possible to trace the mechanisms of its generation and actualization associated with the process of interpretation, which affects the perception of information by the addressee. Perception factors are associated with the socio-cultural environment, education, character of a person, his worldview and personal experience and form different models of perception, interpretation and reaction. Implicitness in F. M. Dostoevsky’s idiodiscourse is a complex, multifaceted and universal linguistic phenomenon that is responsible for creating depth of subtext and new information, not expressed verbally, but at the same time conjectured (remembered), understood by the reader using various linguistic means, background knowledge, and processes of thinking and is of great importance for understanding the meaning and meaning of the text. Thus, the peculiarities of the interaction of implicitness with the explorer and its manifestation in the writer’s idiodiscourse make it possible to draw a conclusion about a peculiar feature of Dostoevsky’s idiodiscourse.
