Abstract

The article attempts to investigate the idiostyle of V. Lys through the prism of the most expressive and powerful stylistic figures of syntax, as well as inserts and inserted structures. Each of these figures and units gives a definition that is incorporated into the selected fact of the novel «Jacob’s Century». It is revealed that one of the most popular syntactic means of the author in this work is amplification – a stylistic figure, which is used to enhance the language expressiveness. The author also uses a syntactic figure that has a powerful stylistic charge, such as an anaplus – a violation of the correct grammatical connection of words in the sentence. The writer successfully applies in the text anaphora – stylistic figures, created by repeating the same elements of the language at the beginning of each parallel series. The author also uses aposiopezu – a stylistic figure, an unfinished torn sentence, in which the idea is not fully expressed. The tension and sharpness of the plot adds asideton, or unboundedness – a stylistic method, which consists in naming homogeneous members of the sentence, combining parts of a complex sentence without conjunctions, giving expression to expressiveness, diversifying the story, changing its rhythmic-intonational structure. The melodic and melodic language of the work makes multifunctional, or polysindeton – a stylistic figure characterized by intentional accumulation of conjunctions (sometimes prepositions) to reinforce each member of the sentence. The author enhances the course of the narrative by inversion – changing the usual (direct) order of words in the sentence to emphasize the important content, the logical accent of its members or to give the phrase a special stylistic color. As a stylistic tool that enhances emotionality and expressiveness of a language, a tautology is used in a product – repeating the content of a part or the whole expression. For the disclosure of the spiritual state of the hero V. Lys uses the reception of a chiasm – a kind of syntactic parallelism, when the members of the sentence of the second half of the phrase have reciprocal order. Finally, it is concluded that in the novel "Century of Jacob" V. Lys uses a variety of syntactic figures that stylistically visualize the artistic text and fill it with the colorful sound of the Volyn-Polis dialect at the highest language level – syntactic.
