STYLISTIC PECULIARITIES OF EGOISTIC UTTERANCES
Journal Title: Наукові записки Національного університету "Острозька академія" Серія "Філологія" - Year 2017, Vol 64, Issue 2
Abstract
The complicated nature of the phenomenon under study requires an interdisciplinary approach. To recognize the social nature of human language is to view language through its function which is a means of communication. Literary texts express something beyond their literal ‘meaning’, and these other layers of meaning can be explored by attentive reading and analysis. Stylistic analysis is practised as a means of understanding the possible meanings in a text. All language means have two major meanings: ordinary (grammatical and lexical) and stylistic (expressive-emotive-evaluative). The article deals with the stylistic devices used in the egotistic utterances. The author examines repetition, gradation, hyperbole, epithet, literalism, rhetorical questions, echo question, metaphor, metonymy and simile. The communicant-egotist is led by the following personal qualities such as dominance, haughtiness, pride, etc. The pragmatic potential of the given devices has been defined.
