ABSTRACT
The article deals with the linguistic analysis of antithesis and oxymoron in “The da Vinchi Code”. The extended information about the antithesis and oxymoron is provided in the article. “The da Vinchi Code” of D. Brown is proved to be enriched with antithesis and oxymoron. The use of both stylistic devices adds emotionality to the language of the fictions, and this in the expression of both the inner and outer world of the characters created in the fiction, their feelings and excitement to the smallest point have been observed in the article. Together with these stylistic devices, it is possible to draw a reader’s attention to the work more. The possibility of turning the phrases expressed by “as” into oxymarons by the transformation method is also dealt with. The article also deals with the investigation of how the oxymoron found in “The Da Vinci Code” was found to be more commonly used in a number of languages, and it was not difficult to determine that they were oxymorons. Besides, the existence of a purposeful use of such stylistic figures in the examples of fictionals is also taken into regard. Different patterns of oxymoron and antithesis are presented and analyzed in the article. It is estimated that these stylistic tools enrich the language of fictionals and add colorful shades to it. It is proved in the article, that transformation of some phrases into oxymoron is a complex process together with its elements. The ways of these two stylistic tools, which can be transformed from one to the other by the method of transformation, are dealt as well. Moreover different thoughts about the antithesis and oxymoron are provided in this article. It is also mentioned that each writer and poet has their own attitude to these linguistic phenomena.
