By analyzing specific comparative structures, the article demonstrates how Karlin uses this syntactic-structural model quantitatively and stylistically in the above-mentioned novel. Based on the results of this analysis and considering the potential recipients of Karlín’s works, the paper characterizes the stylistic functions of these structures. It shows how specific stylistic features demonstrate Karlin’s linguistic awareness and instincts.
