Abstract

This work explores allusions as a valuable source of information about the culture and mentality of the people. The choice of allusion as an object of linguocultural research is due to the special nature of this stylistic device. The cultural significance of the allusion is bi-directional: first, the allusion refers to a particular event or object (historical, literary, etc.) that is significant for a given linguistic and cultural community. And secondly, it projects the fact mention and makes cultural information an integral part of the generated text. By virtue of this peculiarity, a linguoculturologist has a particular interest in allusion. According to the results of this study, it is stated that J.Fowles’s discourse differs in the localization of the sources of the culturological components of allusions in the linguistic sign and mainly in its pragmatic layer.
