Abstract:
The purpose of the study is to determine the functions of aposiopesis in «Cat Fancy» by Louis Strack. The realization of the set goal involves solving a number of specific tasks: 1) To consider the definitions of aposiopesis;
2) 2) to consider stylistic functions of lacuna in fictional texts; 3) 3) to identify the cases of aposiopesis in the analyzed text and comment on their roles in dramatic objective narrative creation. The research material can be useful for students during preparation, and we also determine the possibility of its use in the preparation of relevant sections of textbooks, study guides, in lecture courses on English language stylistics, on practical classes, etc.
