Abstract [eng] The aim of the article is to discuss stylistic references to the market in the British novelist Charles Dickens’ novel Oliver Twist. The following research methods have been used in the discussion of the chosen novel: a descriptive- analytical method and stylistic analysis. Discussion of the style of Dicekns’ writings according to linguists’ theoretical works enabled to identify specific stylistic features (use of dialect, humour, satire, imagery). The use of figurative language elements (lexical and syntactic devices) helps to form the image of the British market. Phonological figures (onomatopoeias, alliterations) enable to render intense rhythm and atmosphere of the British market. Specific use of syntactic phenomena (enumeration) helps to create the image of the oldest British meat and poultry market in West Smithfield, the area of the city of London during the Victorian period. In conclusion, it could be claimed that the use of figurative language helps to show a negative image of the British market in Victorian England. The stylistic analysis showed that Charles Dickens uses references to unusual location as the way of breaking traditional syntactic design of the 19th century emotive prose.
