The article discusses the organization of linguistic postmodern literary text. Analyzes the poetic works of Ukrainian postmodern art discourse for selection by the authors of language means of expression to achieve communicative goals. Word in a work of art does not only nominative function, it is used in a subjectify lingual space and determine speechthinking freedom of speaker. The author draws attention to the fact that the poetic function of language, along with the reference, ambiguity and gives it an opportunity for the ambiguity of the utterance. In connection with this understanding of the meaning of art depends on the different attitudes to the very subject of the statement saying, an the method of reading the text. Related words in the concept of becoming unfit for the image “literal” pattern of life. Therefore, a clear sign of postmodernism become Ukrainian verbal games, heteroglossy languages, discourse, linguistic hybrids, marginal dictionaries. He rejects the discourse of a totalitarian society, the official lexicon of Soviet-style language as inadequate to express the individual senses and feelings, instead of resorting to repetition of words, obscene language, citations, etc. The essence of the product is replaced by rhythmic melodic phrase, a phrase open to freely attach to it any associative chain. In the process of generation of artistic expression is present in the selection principle nonselection linguistic means of expression. The dialogue is born and polylogue game between the text of culture, the reader, the author.

Концепт рассматривается как факт культуры и формирует систему знаний человека о мире, он позволяет нам конкретизировать наиболее характерные признаки изучаемой нами культуры. Цель данной статьи - выявление значимости лингвокультурного концепта «жизнелюбие» для понимания индивидуальной картины мира автора. Задача исследования состоит в том, чтобы описать и проанализировать лингвистические средства, которые наполняют один из характерных для греческой культуры концептов, на основе художественного текста, так как художественный текст предлагает авторские интерпретации ключевых понятий, составляющих национальную картину мира. Актуальность данного исследования определяется необходимостью выявить значимость лингвистических и этноспецифических особенностей в изучении поведенческих характеристик народа и греческого менталитета в ходе анализа языковых единиц и сопутствующих культурологических факторов, наполняющих концепт «жизнелюбие» в индивидуальной авторской картине мира. В статье рассматриваются примеры и из художественного текста «Грек Зорба» греческого классика Никоса Казандзакиса, анализируются языковые средства выражения указанного концепта. Содержание данного текста насыщено культурными, историческими и географическими понятиями и характеристиками, что позволило нам взять его за основу исследования культуры и менталитета Греции. В процессе изучения материала, а именно греческого художественного текста, мы применили методы эмпирического и теоретического исследования. Также использовались компонентный и контекстуальный методы изучения. В данном исследовании отмечается влияние концепта на языковую личность, так как языковая личность является собирательным образом представителя определенных культурно-языковых ценностей. Специфика языковой картины мира и идиолекта характеризует языковую личность автора. The concept is considered as a fact of culture and forms a system of human knowledge about the world, it allows us to reveal the most characteristic features of the Greek culture we are studying. The aim of this article is to identify the significance of the linguistic-cultural concept «Love of life» to understand the writer’s individual picture of the world. The objective of the study is to characterize the linguistic means that form one of the basic concepts of the Greek worldview based on the literary text, since the literary text shows author’s interpretations of key concepts that make up the national picture of the world. While studying this topic and analyzing the language units considered in the article, we were able to represent the relevance of the concept «Love of life» and related cultural factors to understand the author’s picture of the world, and this also allowed us to demonstrate the importance of linguistic and ethno-specific features in the study of the behavioral characteristics and Greek mentality. The article discusses the examples from the literary text «Zorba the Greek» by the Greek classic Nikos Kazantzakis and analyzes the linguistic means of expression. The content of this text is saturated with cultural, historical and geographical characteristics, which allowed us to consider it as a basis for studying the culture and mentality of Greece. In the direct study of textual material, empirical and theoretical research methods were used: analysis, synthesis, comparison, as well as component and contextual methods of study. The article underlines the influence of the concept on the linguistic personality formation, as we know the linguistic personality is a generalized image of the storage of cultural and linguistic values. The author’s linguistic personality is characterized by the specificity of his linguistic worldview and vocabulary.

A description of semantics is the means of expressing emotions that can be used in any literary work. We investigate and analyze the text, conduct the research of its lexical and semantic units from different dimensions.In the present paper, we deal with a complete description of the inner world of the characters in a literary work, their spiritual or emotional state of mind through the linguistic means that are used by the authors to fully display the personal images of the main characters and to perceive them thoroughly by the reader.The conducted analysis has shown that through the structural-semantic dynamics and pragmatic analysis and particular emphasis is made on the practical aspect of what type of information is realised by the addresser (character) while expressing this or that kind of emotion and how the recipient perceives this information based on the protagonist’s behaviour in a given particular case.We have foregrounded structural-semantic models of basic emotions and linguistic means containing emotions. The study of the pragmatic potential of the expression of emotions is indeed valuable for the pragmatics of a literary text, for the scrupulous understanding of various nations’ history, which inevitably reflects and will reflect in future the wide range of tasks of modern linguistics.Finally, we should also conclude that emotional load/coloring in a literary text can be represent better and perceive a characters’ cultural speech, which implies the correctness and exactness of the characters' use of the means of expressing emotions during the interaction.

Постановка задачи. В статье рассматриваются средства выразительности в романе Дж. Джойса «Улисс», в тексте которого присутствуют практически все возможные стилистические приемы и фигуры речи. Базируясь на семантической двуплановости как отличительном признаке большинства образных средств, автор пытается проследить механизмы формирования языкового инструментария, характерного для модернистского произведения. Производится попытка понять, как происходит процесс порождения знаков в «Улиссе» и как их интерпретировать. Для этого особое внимание уделяется группе слов с большим семиотическим потенциалом. Результаты. Установлены некоторые языковые средства выразительности, характерные для романа «Улисс». Их отличительной особенностью является авторская индивидуальность, усиленная специфичностью романа «потока сознания», когда потенциал языка используется по-новому. Выводы. Образные средства способны придавать фигуральность любому художественному тексту. Однако создание модернистского романа «Улисс» потребовало от Джойса особых усилий в формировании языковых средств. Характерный признак данного произведения, поток сознания, спровоцировал использование лингвистического резерва несколько иным способом - бесконечными парадоксами, запутанными символами и ассоциациями. Нередко последнее связано с изменением семиозиса. Так, специфические средства создания образности в «Улиссе», заключающиеся в гротескности и эксцентричности, основываются на нарушении нормы языка, что приводит к многократному усилению эстетико-художественного эффекта в романе. Statement of the problem. The article examines the means of expression in J. Joyce's novel Ulysses , which contains virtually all possible stylistic devices: phonological, morphological, grammatical, syntactic and lexical. Based on the semantic duality as a distinctive feature of the majority of figurative means, the author tries to trace the mechanisms of the linguistic tools formation that could be characteristic of a modernist work. An attempt is made to understand how the process of generating signs in Ulysses takes place and thus how it can be interpreted. For this, special attention is paid to a group of words with great semiotic potential. Results. Some linguistic means of expressiveness characteristic of the novel Ulysses have been identified. Their main feature is the author's individuality reinforced by the specificity of the "stream of consciousness" novel, when the potential of the language is used in a new way. Conclusion. Different stylistic devices and expressive language means are able to make an impression and add figurativeness to any literary text. However, the creation of the modernist novel Ulysses required special efforts from Joyce in the formation of linguistic means. A distinctive feature of this work, the stream of consciousness, provoked the use of the linguistic potential in a slightly different way creating endless paradoxes, confusing symbols and associations. Often the latter is associated with the change in semiosis generation. Thus, the specific means of creating imagery in Ulysses lead to the language norm violation. In its turn, the grotesque and eccentricity bring multiple increase in the aesthetic and artistic effect in the novel.

The article considers irony as a conceptual category of the literary text, that contains author's assessment in the implicit form. The ironic meaning as an integral component of the literary text is an evaluative and emotional way to represent the author's worldview and values. The means of expressing irony in N.V. Gogol's works of different genres (epos, lyrico-epic genre and drama) are determined. The similarities and differences in the author's use of irony expression means in the poem Dead Souls, series of tales Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka, Mirgorod, Petersburg Tales, comedy The Inspector General within the author's ironic character description are determined. The article concludes that genre peculiarities of literary works affect the author's choice of certain means of irony expression. It is not typical of the author to use phraseological units as irony explicators in the genre of the tale; however, these linguistic means frequently verbalize ironical meaning in the drama genre – the comedy The Inspector General. The use of such textual means as author's retreats and comments is not typical due to high plot dynamism and dialogization of the author's narrative being characteristic genre features of the comedy. The article considers the means of irony expression in the author's character description. It is shown that irony is manifested both in the characters' and the author's speech and is aimed at assessing the characters' personality and behavior.

This article is dedicated to examination of verbal means of expression of authorial commentaries in English fiction. The relevance of the selected topic is defined by the fact that the question of characteristics of authorial commentaries remain an insufficiently studied area within the framework of interpretation of a literary work. Such linguists as R. Posner in the “Theory of Commentaries”, I. V. Arnold in the “Stylistics of Decoding”, and N. D. Arutyunova in her work “On the Problems of Structural Linguistics” have been dealing the topic at hand. Examination of the authorial commentaries allows assessing the depth and wholeness of the literary work. The article presents the analysis of linguistic means of functionality of authorial commentaries in the English-language novel “Sister Carrie” by Theodore Dreiser. Authorial commentaries manifest as one of the means for explication of dialogical nature of the literary text. Linguistic means emphasize the expressiveness of authorial commentaries within the framework of progression of a storyline. Most of the authorial commentaries in T. Dreiser's novel “Sister Carry” represent the contrasting contexts, reflected in the development of two thematic lines. To the first theme includes the associative series: beast – nature – the forces of life. The second semantic layer is demonstrated in the line: human – man – free will. Contrasting contexts originate the oppositions not only on the level of meaningful-logical information, but also on the level of subtext.

Playing with Figures of Collective Memory in Artistic Work. Issues in Memory LinguisticsThe article presents an ethnolinguistic analysis of A. Stasiuk’s drama Czekając na Turka (‘Waiting for the Turk’). Staged in 2009, the play examines figures of communicative and cultural collective memory, to use Jan Assmann’s terminology. Particular attention is given to linguistic means of lexical and syntactic archaization of literary text, used to elicit associations with the past images of Turks in Polish and European imagination, and in consequence, to propose an interpretation of an important event in European culture and history at the end of the 20th century: the fall of the Berlin Wall. In comparison with the older concept of antemurale Christianitatis (associated with Ottoman Turks’ incursions against European countries), the importance of the modern, current concept is reduced.
