Abstract
Aim. The paper is devoted to the linguistic analysis of the semantic environment of the lexeme of the eye in the literary text of Nadezhda Aleksandrovna Teffi.
Methodology. A single model of an individual author’s description of the characters’ view is developed, based on a formalized solid sampling of the material. The methods of identifying the features of lexical syntagmatics involved in the system description of the nonverbal component are found to be significant.
Results. The traditional and individual author’s connotations in the description of the characters’ eyes are revealed. The artistic techniques which transform a nonverbal element into an artistic detail are determined.
Research implications. The study of eye contact in N. Teffi’s literary text revealed textual universals and syntagmatic activity of the word. The practical significance of the research is determined by the possibility of applying its materials and conclusions in teaching the Russian language and the stylistics of the text, as well as by the possibility of using the results for the development of text corpora and identifying individual authorial elements of works of art.
