Abstract

The article deals with the analysis of main constructions and lexico-semantic features of inversion and detachment in the text of the novel Dandelion Wine written by Ray Bradbury. In the process of theoretical data collection and the lexical and semantic analysis of inversion and detachment such general and linguistic research methods have been employed: observation, induction, comparison, statistical (quantitative) method, structural method (transformational analysis), method of semantic and stylistic analysis and contrastive method. In the course of our research, we have analyzed scientific works devoted to the investigation of inversion and detachment of such foreign and Ukrainian scholars as Danielson D., Bilber D., Crystal D., Galperin I., Arakin V., Denysenko N., Telezhkina O., Potebnia O., Shakhmatov O., Peshkovskii O. and others. Based on the views of the above-researchers, we have provided a general theoretical overview of the stylistic devices under investigation. In the practical part of the study, we have compared the main constructions of inversion and detachment and their classifications, as well as lexical and semantic features of these stylistic devices in the English and Ukrainian versions of the novel. The paper provides examples of inversion and detachment construction from English and Ukrainian texts and their detailed analyses.
