Linguistic Representation of the Concept «Truth»
 in the Novels by D. Brown, an American Writer

Abstract

The article deals with the peculiarities determining the linguistic presentation of the concept «Truth» in the novels «The Da Vinci Code», «The Lost Symbol», «Angels and Demons» by D. Brown, a famous American writer. The plot of these novels is based on the dichotomy of the religious and scientific spheres which is revealed in the interaction of religious and scientific discourses. The concept «Truth» is a borderline area characterizing «intersection» of religious and scientific discourses. Emphasis is laid upon the analysis of the linguistic representation of this concept,
 as well as the study of interdiscoursiveness in literary texts and peculiarities of
 the author’s individual style. A reader usually comes across combination and interaction
 of different discourses in literary texts that is characteristic of literary texts. It is the way of combining different spheres of knowledge in order to perform the main function of the literary text such as incarnation of the author’s ideas. The literary
 worldview in D. Brown’s novels is based on the dichotomy of religious and scientific spheres. Religious and scientific discourses are presented by corresponding lexemes verbalizing a particular concept; thereby it creates the literary worldview presented
 by the author.
