The analysis of the intertext functions in biographical novels by P. Ackroyd has been reviewed in this article. Using citations, reminiscences, and allusions creates a factual structure of the works and becomes a particular tool of the hero’s characteristic. Its purpose is to destroy the stereotyped images. The intertext helps P.Ackroyd to comment the works of his heroes and to include them in the cultural paradigm. As a result, the structure of the biographical novel becomes open and allows of different interpretations
What is the thing under the philosophical
interpretation? The thing is a subject of the material
reality, which existence is relatively independent and
stable. Everything has its place in space. The material
world consists of the totality of things, and that is why,
concerning the image of “the thing” in a literary work,
we address to all the objects created by men, which
enter the world of the plot. It can be a costume of a
character, an interior of his house, utensils, personal
items and many other things which compose the usual
sphere of cultural life. In the course of the
development of the society people withdraw
themselves from the natural environment; their
environment becomes man-made. The world of things
is naturally reflected in the literature, and in the course
of time its importance increases. We can explore some
features of an author’s worldview through the analysis
of his ideological and topical works. The study proves
that the material world is fully and equally represented
in the author’s stories. Therefore, the vision of the
material world is a deeper property of the author's
consciousness than the ideological and thematic
occupancy of the works. The material world is one of
the main problems of Leskov's worldview. Leskov is a
realist. The filling of the material world can be either
religious or social. In the spiritual stories «the thing»
must be pushed to the sidelines and become a religious
symbol. But Leskov breaks this system and remains
temporal

In any language there are such lexico-grammatical
categories of nouns as proper names and common
names. This fact is explained with the speaker’s desire
to differentiate homogeneous subjects to individual
and unique subjects. Both has their own purpose.
Functions and aims. Being one of the subsystem of
national language, language for special purposes
provides the professional communication of people in
scientific, production and technical spheres. But
compare with a common language, language for
special purposes is more laconic and is limited with
lexis of researched scientific part. A common language
in a process of communication transfer intellectual and
emotional information; in fiction there is also esthetic
information, but language for special purposes transfer
only intellectual information. So synonyms,
homonyms and tropes are strange for language for
special purposes. Naturally, the forms of Proper names
and their role are restricted. The emotional sphere
depends on the approval of the author (denotate). So,
the emotions and estimation depend on the content not
a form of the language

This article examines the story of the unexpected stay
of lieutenant Vasily Golovnin in South Africa in 1808
during his famous navigation around the world. In fact,
the Russian sailor had to stop in Simonstown for a
short while to stock up and put his boat in shape.
However, his visit on this archipelago which newly
belonged to British had coincided with the moments of
crisis between Russian and British empires in Europe.
These events obliged Golovnin to stay in the Cape of
Good Hope for thirteen months. Enjoying his freedom
of movement, the young navigator will exploit this
long stay to describe the daily life of South African
people. During his travels across the Cape Colony,
Golovnin meets with colonists and colonized, and tells
about the mechanism of their cohabitation. Even if it is
not so abundant, his travelogue remains the first one
realized by a Russian on South Africa and will always
be crucial for the future generations of Russian
mariners who will follow his itinerary. From Kronstadt
to Kamchatka, Golovnin described the amazing events,
but there, it will exclusively focus on the part of his
travelogue [3] about his long and exceptional “stay at
the Cape of Good Hope”
