STYLISTIC DEVICES AS TOOLS OF CULTURAL EXPRESSION IN ENGLISH-SPEAKING DISCOURSE
Abstract
This article analyzes the role of stylistic devices as a means of cultural expression in English colloquial discourse. The influence of metaphors, idiomatic expressions, irony, and other expressive units on the cultural connotation, communicative function, and effectiveness of communication was studied using discursive-stylistic and corpus-based approaches. Based on more than 200 units of real conversation, the significance of stylistic devices in intercultural understanding is revealed, and the practical aspects of language teaching and translation are highlighted.
