Results (Findings) The analysis of the examples presented in the article shows thatthe phenomenon resulting from the transfer of phrases from one text to another is the basis of the concept of "intertextuality", which literary critics are trying to define on a large scale. Conclusion Summing up the results, it can be concluded that one of the distinguishing features of literary discourse is its content versatility, which is manifested in the occurrence of different approaches to the perception of this content and the occurrence of cases of interpretation through different associative connections. Ambiguity of a literary work can be attributed to the different course of realization of syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations in the language of literary expression. Stylistic relations occur in the connection of elements of the same level within a single text, while paradigmatic relations reflect the connection of elements within and outside the text.
