Abstract
Aim. To examine the contextual environment of the eye lexeme in M. Yu. Lermontov’s novel “The Hero of Our Time”.
Methodology. The eye lexeme is presented as a text-forming one in the artistic space when creating a psychological portrait of the characters. The methods of identifying binary oppositions, as well as syntactic series in the aspect of the theory of oppositions, are significant.
Results. A corpus of contexts with an eye linguistic unit (103 contexts) has been identified, syntagmatic, paradigmatic connections, and contextual partners have been established. The fundamental binary opposition shine – lack of shine is revealed, based on which additional antonymic pairs are determined.
Research implications. The linguistic analysis showed that in order to fully identify the semantic structure and stylistic shades of one lexeme in a literary text, it is necessary to consider the entire corpus of contextual partners. The practical significance is determined by the possibility of using materials in teaching the stylistics of the Russian language, the language of fiction.
