1. Prerequisites and need for a linguo-stylistic approach to a literary text.

The twentieth century made adjustments to the theory and practice of literature, delimiting literary and linguistic aspects of the analysis of a literary text within philology. The assertion that “the text on one side is turned towards literary criticism, and the other towards linguistics” (see Slyusareva, 1982, p. 41) has become a commonplace. Literary criticism has traditionally been engaged in the study, first of all, of the ideological and thematic content of literary works, their genre and compositional originality, and linguistics - the study of the linguistic means that function in the text and ensure their construction.Thus, the linguo-stylistic analysis of a literary text presupposes a detailed and thorough analysis of linguistic means “under a linguistic microscope” (expression of N. M. Shansky) in order to reveal their role and functions in the ideological and thematic content of the text (the way from word to content).

The need for a linguo-stylistic approach to the analysis of a literary text is due to the fact that in the field of text research during the 20th century, in the direction from Russian formalism to the structuralism of the 60s, there was a tendency to integrate (enter) such related disciplines as poetics, psycholinguistics, anthropology, semiotics, etc.
