BIBLICAL LANGUAGE LAYERS IN G. G. BYRON’S MYSTERY “CAIN” AND THEIR LINGUOSTYLISTIC PECULIARITIES IN THE ARMENIAN TRANSLATION

Abstract

The paper deals with some problems concerning the biblical language layers and their linguostylistic peculiarities in Lord Byron’s mystery “Cain”. In particular, it is stated, that as an integral part of “Cain” biblical language layers as well as their poetic transformations are important means of expressing the poet’s ideas and aesthetic views, of revealing his self-consciousness and world perception in general. In this respect, the notion of “allusive figures of speech” is introduced as a specific type of allusion and an expressive means intended to create imagery.
