FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF STYLISTIC DEVICES AND NEOLOGISMS IN LITERARY TEXTS: A CASE STUDY OF "1984" BY GEORGE ORWELL AND "A FAREWELL TO ARMS" BY ERNEST HEMINGWAY

This article analyzes the functional characteristics of stylistic devices and neologisms used in the literary works of prominent representatives of 20th-century world literature, namely George Orwell and Ernest Hemingway. The study explores the role of newly coined lexical units (neologisms) employed by the author in the novel “1984” as a means of social control and ideological influence, as well as examines the author’s individual style, conciseness, and expressiveness in the work “A Farewell to Arms”. The research is conducted within a linguo-stylistic framework, applying a comparative analysis of the stylistic features of both authors. The findings of the study contribute to a deeper understanding of the aesthetic and semantic functions of linguistic means in literary texts.
