Abstract

This article examines lexico-syntactical stylistic devices as a crucial aspect of stylistic analysis. It focuses on the interaction between lexical meaning and syntactic structure in creating expressive effects. Special attention is paid to such devices as simile, periphrasis, litotes, gradation, antithesis, and represented speech. The study analyzes their definitions, structural features, classifications, and stylistic functions in literary discourse. It also highlights their role in conveying emotions, shaping imagery, and organizing textual coherence. The research demonstrates that lexico-syntactical stylistic devices are essential tools for enhancing expressiveness and achieving artistic impact in both written and spoken language.
