Aleksandra Marinina’s detectives from the perspective of knowledge of the latest linguistics

The collection includes articles published at different times in scientific collections of different nature and thematic orientation, united by the object of research: detective works of one of the most readable contemporary writers - Alexandra Marinina. It seems that the publications in this collection allow us to focus on some of the possible aspects of philological study of the writer’s work, which are clearly underdeveloped, but at the same time have become relevant in the light of some of the latest trends in linguistic knowledge. These aspects, in particular, include the analysis of the speech tissue of the works by Aleksandra Marinina from the standpoint of cognitive linguistics, communicative linguistics and communicative stylistics of literary text, which has already become a part of the latter. Research in this sphere allows, among other things, a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the author and characters’ key characters in a literary prose work.
