Abstract

The article claims that one of the important means of creating a hero's speech characteristics of a literary work is the use of recurring idiomatic expressions which can be individual words, compound words as well as entire utterances. In Ilf and Petrov'stwo-part novel, the protagonist Ostap Bender's way of speaking is characterized by a number of these elements. Among them a special category can be classified containing expressions which are not phraseologisms but still have bound, abstract meanings. These expressions have transparent features not only in Ostap's speech but also in the novels' texture as a whole, and they can rightly be called winged words, since they have become widespread in literary speech not losing their recognizability as quotations from thetwo-part novel. These expressions are, for example,??????? ???????;????? ?????;???? ?? ????????,??? ?????? ?????;?? ???????? ? ??????? ???????; or???-??-???????as a form of evaluation.
