Linguopragmatic aspects of fictional texts in English and Karakalpak languages

Parenthetic sentences / parenthesis - is an explanatory or qualifying word, 
clause, or sentence inserted into a passage with which it has not necessarily any 
grammatical connection, and from which it is usually marked off by round or 
square brackets, dashes, or commas. In the given part of the text we have just one 
example of such construction: `My mind ran riot then, figures came before me and 
picture after picture - and all the while he ate his tangerine, giving me a piece now 
and then, and watching me' 
There are a few examples of the parallel constructions: `…we would walk in the 
garden together, we would stroll down that path in the valley to the shingle beach' 
(parallel grammatical bases of the sentence); `I knew how I would stand on the 
steps after breakfast, looking at the day, throwing crumbs to the birds'(parallel 
participles); `I considered my name, and the signature on cheques, to tradesmen, 
and in letters asking people to dinner' (parallel objects); `I saw the polished table in 
the dining-room, and the long candles' (parallel objects); `Great cool rooms, filled 
with flowers. My bedroom, with a fire in the winter…' (parallel subjects in the 
nominative sentences). 
Ellipsis may convey the emotional state of the narrator. `Why not come down to 
Manderley next week-end?' - in this sentence a subject and an auxiliary verb are 
omitted.

One example of metonymy: `…and a violin playing a waltz in the distance'. 
Course, we understand that the violin can not play by itself that the musician plays 
on it. But Du Maurier transfer attributes of the man on the musical instrument, 
omitted man's necessity, invested it with the ability to play independently. 
metaphor: `This about me, a whisper on the fringe of a crowd…' It is known, that 
there is no fringe at a crowd. Nevertheless we always can use phrases such as at the 
centre of a crowd. On logic if there is a centre so there is a fringe 
OxymoronsIn REBECCA's fragment we have `violent love'. To describe such 
feeling as love the positive adjectives are used more often. In the given example 
the adjective with negative colouring is used thus it receives the meaning strong. 
There are simple epithets which just characterize the objects and subjects: `white 
frock'; `shady hat'; `long scissors'; `old lady'; `long candles'; `great cool rooms'; 
`the tangerine was very sour'; `I had a sharp, bitter taste' 
Antonomasia The surname of the main hero of the novel is de Winter. Probably, 
Du Maurier wanted that such surname represented Maxim as cold, secluded, 
prickly person. But even heart of Mr de Winter can melt, warming with love. By 
the way, this surname suits his ex-wife Rebecca (somewhere in the text of the 
novel is told, that she was perfect by her ice beauty), and it contradicts with the 
essence of his unnamed new wife.
