Keyword: «deadjective»

The article deals with the lexical and grammatical features of nouns formed from adjectives in the process of syntactic derivation from the point of view of their ability to implement metonymic transfer. The pragmatics of deadjectives in the text, their ability to provide a “close-up” of the image in metonymic usage, to participate in the compression of the text, to create its coherence are investigated. Language markers are indicated that allow to distinguish between metonymic and non-metonymic uses of deadjectives, as well as some conditions in which the deadjective does not express metonymic transfer.
