Speech mask as а device of the author’s transformation in comic idiodiscourse}, volume={9}, url={https://tractatus.sumdu.edu.ua/index.php/journal/article/view/212}, abstractNote={<p>In the article the research of the author’s speech mask in comic idiodiscourse is offered for the first time. The<br>mask phenomenon, influenced by epoch, suffered changes and has turned from simple attribute of conviviality,<br>carnival into artistic device, became a central text category. Thus, the speech mask becomes the mechanism of<br>author’s transformation, represents not only a non-verbal side of the personality, but also gives a chance to<br>creatively present him or herself in the text.<br>As a result of the research of literary works by a modern American writer-humorist Dave Barry it is<br>established that such type of a mask is a difficult three-level phenomenon which fully penetrates author’s works<br>and is shown on the front cover, contents and the text. We refer absurdity, allusion, the use of nonce words,<br>intertextuality and paradox to the most frequently stylistic devices used by the author. In the work the definition of<br>comic idiodiscourse as a kind of discourse of comic tonality, a product of carnival model of the world is offered.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Philological Treatises}, author={Kuznietsova O.
