Abstract
The purpose of the study is to identify the relationship between the way of expressing the word-formation meaning of a complex sign and the representation of the concept-opposition CHARACTER - FAMILY TIES in H. Bazin’s trilogy “The Rezeau Family”. It is shown that the compositional semantics of a complex sign is directly dependent on the narrator’s individual style and is related to the specifics of a particular concept-opposition. Scientific novelty of the study lies in applying the theory of focalisation to describe the correlation between the conceptualisation process and word-formation processes. As a result of the study, it has been found that the indicator of explicitness of the word-formation meaning correlates with the specifics of the considered concept-opposition and the focalisation type.
