Abstract
The main aim of this paper is to provide an insight into the possibilities of stylistic interpretation of a literary text by using only the principles of linguistic stylistics. The prosaic sample taken into consideration in this paper is Slobodan Novak's novel Pristajanje. This novel is characterized by complexity, allusiveness and stylistic refinement, so in this paper the author selects and interprets stylistic linguistic elements used for achieving ironic effects. Additionally, the paper determines the existence of specific elements of the author's literary expression and puts them in context with selected linguistic elements in the novel. Linguistic and stylistic interpretation is focused on lexical and syntactic level of the language, because it is considered that the author's specific style is the most commonly noticed on those levels.
Keywords
