The carried out choice of these techniques, and also the variety of their language execution are determined by the peculiarities of S. Townsend’s idiostyle and individually authorial approach to the reflection of the reality phenomena. The hyperbolization of space characteristics, occasional word-formative transformations, introduction of syntactic structures generating alogisms are peculiar to the author.
