Idiostyle features of using anthroponyms in N. S. Dashevskaya's «Willie»

The article is devoted to studying anthroponyms in the story «Willie» by N. S. Dashevskaya. The author studies the etymological connections of proper names and the peculiarities of the writer's use of their contextual convoy to describe the characters of the work. The aim of the study is to identify the N. S. Dashevskaya's intentions and preferences related to the special attitude of the writer to her characters. The most important methodological approach in this case is the use of Y. N. Karaulov's model of linguistic personality structure, as well as frequency analysis. The analysis of the anthroponyms used by the writer of the story emphasizes their multi-dimensional nature, the deep associative links between certain proper names and the function of their contextual convoy, which can be considered at all levels of the language: from sound (the use of alliteration) to supertext (connections with the reader’s cultural background knowledge and with the pragmatics of other works of the writer). Considering the specifics of the choice and functions of anthroponyms, their correlation with the most important concept «growing up», the development of connotations in these stylistically significant units, the author draws a conclusion about the ideological content of the story and the writer's intentions, motivated by the desire to support the young reader on the difficult path to adulthood. By focusing on the unusual character and his inner strength, the writer seeks to show the teenager, relating himself to the hero, the resources that can serve as support and the key to forming friendly relationships with his peers. The researcher comes to the conclusion about the special ways of expressing idiostyle features in N. S. Dashevskaya's works and their functionality in the work concerned.
