FEATURES OF DOUGLAS STEWART’S IDIOSTYLE (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF THE WORK “SHUGGIE BAIN”)

Abstract

The article analyzes the idiostyle of Douglas Stewart (based on the material of the work “Shuggie Bain”). The issue of a unified approach of linguists to the definition of the essence of the concept of “idiostyle” continues to be debatable. The author notes the variety of approaches to the components of the writer’s idiostyle. The article outlines the main topics that D. Stewart raises in his novel “Shuggie Bain”. The analysis of D. Stewart’s idiostyle is carried out based on three components: the theme, the composition of the novel, and the language media used by the author in it. The article provides examples of the author’s use of the novel “Shuggie Bain” text tools at all levels of the language. There is an obvious advantage of lexical means.
