TRANSFORMATION OF A LANGUAGE NORM IN FICTION: A PRAGMATIC ASPECT

Abstract

The article observes a current problem of the transformation of linguistic units of different levels in a literary text. The question of the appropriateness of including deviations from linguistic norms in a literary text remains debatable. Particular attention is paid to the fact that the author of a work of art submits the choice of certain language means, including non-literary ones, to some aesthetic purposes. In modern linguistics, the issue of aesthetic, pragmatic, functional motivation for deviations from general language norms is acute. The authors of the article analyze in detail examples of the use in the literary text of various kinds of deviations from literary norms, the expressive possibilities of transforming language units of different levels (phonetic, lexical, morphological, syntactic). This direction may be useful for specialists in the field of linguistics, literary criticism, cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistics and is promising for further development.
