Lexical and semantic features of INVERSION in The Godfather (1969) by Mario Puzo (ID:899434)

INTRODUCTION The use of stylistic and syntactic means, such as inversion and separated clauses, is a common phenomenon in various functional styles of the Ukrainian and English languages. These structural features have also become the object of research by many linguists and scholars in the field of stylistics. In this regard, the study of lexical-semantic features of inversion and separated clauses has the potential to become a significant theoretical contribution to future research in this field of linguistics. Given the importance and influence of literature on modern culture, the importance of the structure and language used in literary works cannot be underestimated. A work as an artistic form of information perception has a great potential to influence readers through the use of various stylistic devices, including lexical figures. Among these stylistic devices, a special place can be occupied by inversion, which consists in breaking the usual order of words or lexical units in a sentence in order to create an effect, accent or expressiveness. Inversion can be a powerful tool for creating semantic tension and adding depth of expression in a literary text. Among the literary works that are distinguished by the use of inversion, a special place belongs to "The Godfather" (1969) by Mario Puzo, which became a classic representative of the criminal genre and literary saga. In this context, the study of lexical-semantic features of inversion in this story can reveal new aspects of the interaction of language with readers, as well as deepen the understanding of the role of lexical figures in the creation of an artistic image and its effects on them. The research work on the topic "Lexico-semantic features of inversion in the work "The Godfather" (1969) by Mario Puzo" is aimed at the analysis of lexical and semantic aspects of inversion in the mentioned work, which is an urgent task for cultural and linguistic research. Statement of the problem.The work "The Godfather" (1969) by Mario Puzo became a classic representative of the criminal genre, in which intrigue and tension are created with the help of various lexical and semantic means. However, inversion is used to create a special mood and psychological dynamics.
