Abstract
The article examines linguistic features of the novel “The Great Gatsby” by the American classical writer F. S. Fitzgerald. The study aims to identify the main linguistic means contributing to objective creation of the protagonist’s portrait. Scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that the functional role of the epithets, metaphors, antitheses, hyperboles, periphrases, devices of expressive syntax used by the author and together recreating a physical and psychological image of Jay Gatsby, a prominent representative of the Jazz Age, is described to its fullest extent for the first time. The attained results have shown a high degree of F. S. Fitzgerald’s artistic skill, who was able to put many cultural meanings into semiotics of an anthropological portrait.
