FEATURES OF NEOREALISM IN THE EARLY PROSE OF E. ZAMYATIN
The article examines the early work of E. Zamyatin - the stories «Uyezdnoe», «Alatyr», «Na kulichkakh» – in which the writer's new vision of reality is clearly expressed, combining the features of Russian classical literature of the 19th century, with its epic features, and its satirical reflection – with hidden irony, grotesque, elements of expressionism and impressionism, folklorism and neomythologism. Each of the above-mentioned works shows provincial life, where the creation of images and moods is conveyed by some particularly characteristic artistic means or impression - in each of the stories its own.

In this regard, the article examines how tradition is creatively enriched and transformed and new literature of the 20th century is born. The relevance of this study is caused by the possibility of deepening and significantly expanding the issue of tradition and innovation in the work of E. Zamyatin. In conclusion of the article, it is concluded that the cycle of Zamyatin's early «county stories» under consideration, their ideological and artistic concept, style and forms of reflecting reality testify to the emergence of a new realism in the literature of the early twentieth century.

PERSUASION AS A DOMINANT FEATURE OF ECONOMIC DISCOURSE
This article provides a linguistic analysis of the text space of economic content. The purpose of the study is to identify and describe the key linguistic tools, strategies, and language features that shape the specifics of economic discourse and serve to implement its main functions: informing, persuading, and creating an atmosphere of trust and control. The article examines three levels of language: lexical, syntactic and stylistic. The lexical level represents the saturation of economic texts with special terminology and common vocabulary with highly specialized meaning. The syntactic level organizes constructions that convey a certain amount of information and the stylistic level, and presents metaphors that make economic concepts more visual. At the end of the article, it is concluded that any article of an economic nature has a number of pronounced linguistic characteristics that allow the author of the publication not only to present his opinion on a particular economic issue, but also to convince the audience to accept a particular point of view.
CONTRAST AS A WAY OF COMIC EFFECT IN FICTION, USING THE NOVELS "BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY" BY H. FIELDING (1996) AND "THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA" BY L. WEISBERGER (2003) AS AN EXAMPLE

The article is devoted to the study of the features of actualization of the principle of helical symmetry as a structuring element of the composition of poetic works using the example of the poetic text by A. Blok. The article considers the features of the relationship between the metric characteristics of a poetic text within the framework of the Russian system of versification and the implementation of helical symmetry (the Golden Ratio). The result of the study was a detailed analysis of A. Blok's poem "Worlds are flying. The years fly by. Empty ..." from the point of view of actualizing the principle of helical symmetry in it and its functioning in the representation of the author's intentions at the level of composition of the poetic text.
FEATURES OF FORMING THE CATEGORY OF SPACE IN LITERARY TEXT AS AN OBJECT OF LINGUISTIC RESEARCH (BASED ON JOHN GRISHAM'S NOVEL "THE STREET LAWYER")
This study examines how the category of space functions in language. The importance of studying the concept of space in an author's linguistic consciousness is clear, as the space category represents a significant element of the linguistic worldview and serves as a distinct mental structure. The paper shows that the space category is a key component in creating literary texts, since all understanding of universal human values occurs within a spatial context. Through the lens of this category, a linguistic analysis of the text's language implementation is conducted. The study identifies lexical units with spatial content and determines how attitudes toward different spatial concepts are expressed as objective reality. The research emphasizes that space plays a specific role in organizing literary texts, considering its grammatical and stylistic functions. The article demonstrates that the representation of spatial perception reflects the unique stylistic features characteristic of this particular author.
THE POETICS OF LACUNARITY IN THE ARTISTIC SYSTEM OF WILLIAM THACKERAY IN THE WORK “VANITY FAIR”
The article is devoted to the study of the poetics of lacunarity in the artistic system of William Thackeray by the example of his novel “Vanity Fair”. The authors note that intentional semantic omissions and omissions in the text play a key role, stimulating reader activity and creating the depth of the work. Special attention is paid to the analysis of lacunarity as a complex artistic device that functions on the plot, characterological and narrative levels, forming the unique poetics of the novel. The work emphasizes that Thackeray’s lacunarity is not reduced to a simple lack of information, but becomes an instrument of satire, psychologism and social criticism. The authors explore how this technique reflects the Victorian era and anticipates modern narrative strategies. Special emphasis is placed on the role of an unreliable narrator, the ambivalence of the characters, and historical and cultural allusions that require the reader to actively participate in the interpretation of the text. The analysis of the text demonstrates how conscious omissions form a special type of realistic narrative, where the truth always remains partial. The most important discovery was the understanding of lacunae not as a lack of information, but as a powerful tool of artistic expression.
THE CONCEPT OF "JOURNEY" IN SONG DISCOURSE OF THE SECOND HALF OF THE 20TH CENTURY AS A SET OF RELATED CONCEPTS

The realization of related concepts reflects the sociocultural realities of the era. Some concepts are represented heterogeneously and exhibit variations in their representation depending on the time period. The study also notes the frequency and peculiarities of the usage of related concepts reflected in song texts. A generalized scenario of journey as presented in songs of the second half of the 20th century is formulated.
