Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of linguistic and conceptual peculiarities of the fairy-tale by Kenneth Grahame The Wind in the Willows that can be considered to be genre-forming elements. Such universal phenomena as anthropomorphism and personification and means of their realization are being investigated. The emphasis is laid on the analysing lexical and syntactic peculiarities, namely lexical groups and groupings, word-forming models, simile and comparison, hyperbole, play on words. Rhythm and rhyme as means of dynamic organization of narration are also considered in the article.
