Abstract

The article is devoted to synesthesia as a distinctive feature of John Steinbeck’s prose. The article provides a componential analysis of synaesthetic collocation language means. Synesthetic collocations found in the text create plausible, realistic descriptions due to the actualization of the basic underlying meaning of words. John Steinbeck’s prose is characterized by convergence of synaesthetic collocation and such figurative and expressive language means as alliteration, antithesis, contamination, epithet, metonymy, parallel constructions which most vividly convey characters' mental and physical state.
