SPECIAL LEXICON USED IN LITERARY TEXTS

Abstract

The paper considers the distinctive features of science fiction which determine its linguistic composition. The research is focused on the study of special vocabulary (terminology) in science fiction texts and provides a comprehensive investigation of its semantic, structural, and functional characteristics. Special vocabulary of this genre falls into special vocabulary proper and quasi-special vocabulary coined by authors of the texts. The paper describes different ways of semantization of quasi-special vocabulary units determined by their interaction with other lexical layers. Genre-shaping potential of special vocabulary in science fiction is discussed.
