Abstract. The paper examines linguistic means that express slowed and accelerated flow of time in the novels by American and British authors. The aim of the research is to demonstrate the fact that such types of literary speech as description and narration can effectively express different speed of time in combination with linguistic means. The scientific novelty of the work consists in determining the atypical meaning of Future Simple and Present Progressive in the context that reveals the character’s perception of time, as well as in identifying the specific contents of narration that can contribute to the transmission of time acceleration by linguistic means: changes in the size of objects, their rotational movement, illusion of counter motion, the character’s rapid movement in space. The results of the study showed that polysyndeton can create opposite effects: slow down (description of subjects) and accelerate time (narration about planned actions). It was also found that Present Progressive, if used unconventionally in the narration about events of the distant past, renders the slowing down of time.
Key words and phrases: ускорение и замедление времени, языковые средства, выражающие скорость времени, пространство, восприятие времени, acceleration and slowing down of time, language means expressing the speed of time, space, perception of time
