Abstract
Aim. To identify the linguo-stylistic and lexical-semantic features of verbalizing the characters’ emotions typical for the fictional diary genre.Methodology. The study was conducted using the methods of linguo-stylistic interpretation and lexical-semantic analysis of the text, using the methods of continuous sampling, categorization and classification, as well as descriptive and statistical methods.Results. The study revealed that the predominant ways of verbalizing the emotions of a character in fictional diaries are implicit. The analysis showed the prevalence of elements with a negative emotive connotation. Among the stylistic means of verbalization of emotions a significant part belongs to lexical expressive means.
Research implications. The research results contribute to the deeper understanding of the genre of fictional diary and the verbal representation of emotions in characters’ speech. It is possible to apply the results obtained in teaching stylistics, text interpretation and discourse theory.
