The problem of formation and development of the individual style of a writer is topical in modern linguistic studies. The writer's individual style in the context of the national language reflects the author's individual views and world perception through the peculiar language means or their unconventional use by the author. A detailed analysis of the views of scholars laid the foundation for studying the peculiarities of the individual style of the writer Myroslav Dochynets. Fiction works of Myroslav Dochynets have not yet been the subject of detailed linguistic studies (with the exception of A.Vegesh, L.Prokopovych, R.Terebus). However, the position of the author is obviously high in the modern literary world. Myroslav Dochynets is a winner of the highest awards in literature of Ukraine – the Taras Shevchenko National Prize in Literature, prestigious award of the President of Ukraine and many others.

One of the specific features of the writer’s affluent language is the use of aphorisms. The aphorisms are the linguistic units that are not accidental in the content of the work but are necessarily subordinated to a definite plan of the author.

The article provides the functional and stylistic analysis of aphorisms. The emphasis is laid on the semantic and stylistic classification of the aphorisms, the peculiarities of their use in the artistic discourse, including their role and place in the linguistic picture of the world of the writer.

Aphorisms of Myroslav Dochynets constitute the semantic subsystem of his linguistic creativity. They excite by the depth and imagery, by the freshness of thought in the sentences concerning such themes as homeland and native home, about life, labor, world, love, happiness and destiny, about a woman. A significant group of aphorisms reflect philosophical ideas about the essence of life and human existence.

The article elucidates only certain aspects of the author's mastery of creating aphorisms. In the linguistic picture of a literary work, aphorisms are integral elements of the text and style creating units. This study does not comprise all issues of aphorism creation specificity of the prominent master of word.  Further research of them is significant at the present stage of the linguistic studies development.

 

Key words: individual style, aphorisms, sentences, concept, ethnosemantics, discourse.
