Abstract. It is argued that the multiperspective approach to the study of the text units accounts for a wider outlook toward disclosing the authentic message of the text. By highlighting the foregrounded features of the text an attempt is made to study the key units of the text in the close lexical environment, which enables to follow the semantic extension of the key units. The pragmastylistic value of one of the key units in J. Joyces’s Dubliners was demonstrated in the context of interactions between text micro- and macrostructures.
Key words and phrases: pragmastylistics, key lexical unit, foregrounded elements, lexical environment, text micro- and macrostructure, прагмастилистика, ключевая лексическая единица, элементы первого плана, лексическое окружение, микро- и макроструктура текста, pragmastylistics, key lexical unit, foregrounded elements, lexical environment, text micro- and macrostructure
