Abstract

Metalinguistic comments contained in the fictional and fictional-publicistic prose by N.V. Gogol are considered in the article as a form of expression of the author’s worldview and as a descriptive expressive means. The author of the article draws attention to the fact that in works of different periods and different genres, Gogol demonstrates various methods of using judgments about language and speech and introduces them into the text with diverse artistic tasks. At the same time, the article speaks about Gogol’s recurring motifs of the metalinguistic discourse and the presence of permanent metalinguistic techniques in the writer’s idiostyle.
