IMAGINARY MEANS OF EXPRESSION IN WORKS OF FASIL ISKANDER

Abstract

The article examines figurative linguistic means in works of F. Iskander. The choice of the object of the research is explained by the fact that in the linguistic aspect the Russian-language literature of national authors has not been sufficiently studied. The writer widely uses various pictorial and expressive means in his works. The most striking of them are epithets, metaphors and comparisons, with the help of which the artist creates original, nationally-specific artistic images. As a result of the study, their structural, lexical-semantic and functional features are revealed. This study is the first attempt at a comprehensive study of figurative linguistic means (epithets, metaphors and comparisons) in work of F. Iskander. The analysis can give a certain picture of peculiarities of the language and style of the Russian-language works of Fazil Iskander.
