EXPRESSIVE GRAPHICS AS A COMPONENT OF THE LANGUAGE GAME IN LEWIS CARROLL’S LITERARY FAIRY TALE ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND

Abstract

The study of any fiction text inevitably involves the study of the features of its graphic design. It is well-known that graphics is a means of securing information; in a fiction text, where any unit is potentially expressive, graphic means carry a pragmatic load, and therefore are one of the ways to influence the addressee of written speech. An extraordinary way of use of graphics draws the reader’s attention to the form of writing. Thus, the form becomes significant and, interacting with the meaning of the graphically selected lexical unit, makes it semantically more complicated.
