Abstract
Aim. To identify the features of use of sentences with defined subjects in A. I. Kuprin artistic text.
Methodology. The structural and semantic analysis of selected fragments of the texts of the writerэs artistic texts containing sentences with defined subjects is presented.
Results. The analysis showed that the use of sentences with defined subjects is associated with the compositional features of literary texts. The use of sentences with defined subjects serves as a means of actualizing the semantic content of the texts of the author’s pieces of art.
Research implications. The results of the study complement the information about the specifics of the use of sentences with defined subjects in the artistic text of A. I. Kuprin. The paper uses techniques for analyzing text fragments, which can be applied when studying the artistic text of different authors.
