Abstract
Aim. To identify invariant and variable features of V. Soloukhin’s lyrical prose miniature: “mental encounters” as paradoxes.
Methodology. A linguistic and stylistic analysis of miniatures is carried out; based on comparison with the invariant of the genre, conclusions are drawn about the specifics of the manifestation of the constitutive features of the lyrical prose miniature by V. Soloukhin.
Results. The study of miniatures in the given aspect made it possible to present the worldview in “Pebbles in the palm of your hand”, to point out the paradox as one of the most frequent ways of representing the chronotope “encounter”, to consider the idiosyncratic features of its embodiment: stylistic experiment, pun, destruction of implicature, etc.
Research implications. The study clarifies the ideas about the linguistic picture of the world in “Pebbles in the palm of your hand”, about “mental meetings” as a variant of the chronotope “meeting”, about the paradox as a means of realizing “mental meetings”, about the idiosyncratic features of its embodiment.
