STYLISTICALLY MARKED VOCABULARY IN THE DETECTIVE “AND THEN THERE WERE NONE” BY AGATHA CRISTIE
This article considers the problem of analyzing the culturally significant work of art by Agatha Christie "Ten Little Indians". This article discusses the types of stylistically marked vocabulary in the detective work of Agatha Christie. Linguistic, stylistic and statistical analysis showed a variety of vocabulary groups. Terms from the legal, medical spheres reflect the genre specificity of the detective, defined by the writer herself in her earlier works. At the same time, the writer paid more attention to the depiction of characters from various strata of British society, which was reflected in a large group of colloquial words and expressions, slang and vulgarisms. The article draws conclusions about the role of these groups in creating the originality of this work in a series of Christie's detective works. The writer avoids the strong figure of the protagonist-detective, emphasizes the idea of retribution, creates a critical view of the section of British society, which allows her to go beyond the detective genre and approach the standards of a socio-philosophical work.
