Abstract

Тhe method of markeme analysis of the text is based on the fact that the content of the text is represented by the author's installation, which determines the choice and frequency of words in the text, which results in two patterns: objective – linguistic and subjective – author's. Markemes record the most important themes in the author's work and provide information about his artistic world. This method of separating thematically neutral vocabulary from thematically labeled vocabulary allows you to take into account the informativity of each word against the background of all the words presented in the text of the novel.
