“…The characters of the works are considered as representatives of the author's worldview, each of them embodies certain ideas. P. Battles (2022) examines the corpus of Old Saxon and Old English poetry using computational stylometry, in particular n-gram analysis. Common n-grams indicate that the two cases of poetry are so closely related that they can be considered expressions of the same poetic language.…”

“…Sung (2020) in their work uses the concepts of idiolect of characters who absorb the features of the writer's idiostyle. P. Battles (2022) uses a new method of computational stylometry and n-gram analysis to track the linguistic characteristics of a poetic language, which can be used to compare several literary corpora. The presence of dialect features in idiolects is noted by R. Nordquist (2019).…”

The relevance of the study is conditioned upon the importance of distinguishing the concepts of idiolect, idiostyle, and sociolect in linguistic science, understanding the processes occurring at the border of the terminological field, and using psychological, sociological, and communicative aspects to understand the mechanisms of building these concepts. The purpose of the study is a comparative analysis of linguistic terms based on various criteria, in particular the number of communicants (speakers), social marking or neutrality of the lexical layer, the purpose, conditions, and purposes of the development of certain language layers, the features of the design of lexemes at different levels of the national language (phonological, phonetic, grammatical, morphological, stylistic, syntactic). The main method of research is a theoretical approach to understanding the concepts of idiolect, idiostyle, and sociolect, searching for relationships between them and differences. This study discloses the main intralingual and extralingual factors that contribute to the development, identification, or isolation of these concepts, the features of the coexistence of these terms in contexts with different stylistic content, considers the mechanisms by which the boundaries between these concepts can be outlined, focuses on modern research on the emergence of idiolects, idiostyles, and sociolects. The materials presented in this study will help to further study terminological processes in depth, in particular, contextual and conceptological, global interdisciplinary influences in the national space, mechanisms of isolation and structuring of certain terms to expand or narrow already known meanings.
