Abstract

The article analyzes how the techniques of the novel genre in the “Lolita” by V. Nabokov change the primary speech genre of the diary. The point of view category is considered as a technique of genre formation. In that case, the intimacy of the text, which the diary genre implies, is violated by the presence of not only the point of view of the notes author but also the reader’s one.
