Abstract
The aim of the study is to determine the linguistic specifics of psychologism creation in the novel “Gone Girl” by the American author G. Flynn. In this regard, the study clarifies the notion of “psychologism” and analyses the semantics of the lexical units that construct the semantic space of the literary work under consideration and perform the function of narrative psychologisation in it. The scientific novelty of the study lies in identifying the lexical meanings objectifying G. Flynn’s psychological method in the novel “Gone Girl”. As a result, it has been found that the psychological method of G. Flynn in the novel “Gone Girl” consists in the linguistic actualisation of the semantics of physiology, the semantics of sweet food, the semantics of alcohol, as well as in the use of zoonyms, which, in turn, characterises G. Flynn’s individual style and, in accordance with the hypothesis of the study, makes it possible to consider the “physiological” narrative as a characteristic method of expressing the mental states and emotional experiences of her characters, the selectivity of their perception of the surrounding world.
