Abstract: The article comments on modern studies of the language style of Pavlo Zahrebelnyi, one of the most popular Ukrainian writers of the second half of the twentieth and early. The dominant features of the idiomatic style of objectification of the sensual (emotional-evaluative) sphere, emotional states of the characters in the novel “Acceleration”; the features of the use of the peculiarities of using the units of lexico-semantic and phraseological systems for verbalisation of psycho-emotional tones of the personality, its axiological dimensions and orientations; the choice of factual material for analysis is substantiated. It is established that the dominant emotional state objectified in the novel is love. The idiosyncratic manner of verbalisation of this feeling is realised in a number of individual-author lexical and semantic variants, contextually motivated explicit and implicit semantic plans. The most frequently verbalised feelings are the lexemes love, falling in love, delight, adoration, passion, celebration; to love, love, fall in love, kiss; affectionate, charming, attractive, seductive, unique, intimate; true, hot, seductive, sweet, etc. The key lexeme love represents mostly three within the novel mainly represents three usable lexical and semantic variants: 1) a feeling of of deep affection; 2) the relationship between a man and a woman, generated by; 3) interest, inner, spiritual attraction to something. The individual-author’s verbalisation of love is based on the comprehension of the human sensual human sphere through the prism of concepts and images from other spheres: love is freedom, love is life, love is a celebration of meetings, love is a “quantisation phenomenon in society”, love can only be associated with love. It is established that P. Zahrebelnyi’s artistic language is characterised by extensive descriptions of the emotional states experienced by the characters; stringing of contextual synonyms, epithetical series; the author is characterised by the use of lexical units that actualise and emphasise the characters’ sensual sphere, convey the intensity of the the intensity of emotional experiences (somatisms, colour nouns with opposite meanings, lexemes denoting meanings, lexemes to denote rapid movements (in a fit of feeling), dynamic processes; use of stable word combinations, modelling of author’s aphorisms, close to the established phrases that figuratively verbalise the state of mind. The objectification of the polyphony of the characters’ inner world is provided by mixed emotional complexes (love – imperatives “must” and “dare not”); descriptions of communicative situations that led to the emotional tone, emotional states, etc. Means of verbalisationof the charactersʼ emotional states are characterised as original expressive units of the prose writerʼs idiolect, which is a source of enrichment of the literary language.
