STYLISTIC FUNCTIONS OF NOMINATIVE PARTS OF SPEECH IN STEREOTYPE PERSONAGE CREATION

Abstract

The article is devoted to analysis of lexico-morphological devices used in the process of creation of stereotyped personage image in adventure novels. Such personages are clearly marked by the author’s axiological attitude. Both the characteristics and the means of their expression can be constantly used by different authors; thus we deal with the phenomenon of personage stereotype. The choice of our investigation material is determined by the fact that in an adventure novel the ethic opposition is based on the fundamental contrastive conceptions of human morality – evil and goodness, honesty and falsity. The primary contrast which isn’t tinted but, inversely, is explicitly emphasized by authors, is the constant feature of adventure poetics. In this paper we concentrate our attention on basic functions of nominative parts of speech (nouns and adjectives) in stereotype personage characterization and their formalized, standardized nature.
