Abstract
Aim. We identify the features of the functioning of bookish analytical constructions in the replicas of the characters of A. Ostrovsky’s plays.
Methodology. The paper examines the stylistic significance of descriptive verb-nominal phrases with the components to do and to have, characteristic of the language of dramatic works by A. N. Ostrovsky. Use is made of such methods of observation, generalization, and interpretation of the results.
Results. In the course of the work, we show the peculiarity of the expressiveness of analytical constructions based on the stylistic mismatch of descriptive phrase and context. The deliberate inappropriateness of language units with bookish stylistic coloring in a dialogical replica imitating oral speech is used by A. Ostrovsky as a means of characterization of characters. Structural transformations of the nominal component of analytical constructions contribute to the emergence of an ironic meaning in the statement.
Research implications. The results of the study expand the understanding of the evaluative potential of descriptive verb-nominal phrases in the language of fiction.
