The subject is considered through the analysis of repetition in three short stories written by famous English-speaking writers. Each story has a different storyline and different characters, thus the device of repetition bears different functions in each story. So far as there is an innumerable number of functions in various texts, there is not only one story brought for the analysis in the paper, but three stories, where the repetition is analyzed. alliteration epiphora hemingway salinger Repetition is something, that many linguists find to be an interesting topic to study. Despite the fact, that repetition initially seems to be a device which is quite easy to research, it is definitely not, as soon as even professional linguists sometimes have problems analyzing the specific uses of the device of repetition in texts, stories, public speeches and so on. The problem studied is of both theoretical and practical interest. Its value is determined by a deeper insight into the functional potential of the stylistic device of repetition. The data collected and the results achieved can be used for teaching purposes in linguistic universities as well as by anyone specializing in language study in general. The main aim of the present paper is to bring out the functional capacities of the device of repetition in literary texts. The aim of the study determines the objectives which are as follows: 1. To present a theoretical overview of the linguistic features of the stylistic device of repetition. 2. To examine typologies and classifications of the stylistic device of repetition worked out be well-established linguists and stylisticians. 3. To carry out a linguostylistic analysis of three short stories aimed at detecting the uses of repetition by the authors. 4. To determine the functions that the stylistic device of repetition performs in each particular instance of its use. 5. To compare the functions of repetition in literary works by different authors. The practical language material chosen for the analysis in the present paper comprises three short stories by E.M. Hemingway and J.D. Salinger. As a methodological basis the works of Russian and foreign linguists (Aitchison J., Galperin I. R., Cuddon J.A., Fowler R., Fowler, H.W., Burchfield R.W, Baldick C., Vickers B., McArthur T., Persson G., . and others) on Stylistics and Text Linguistics are used. Structurally the current work contains introduction, two chapters, conclusion, and a list of references. The introduction sets the topic, defines the aim of the research, describes the material selected for the analysis, and outlines the contents of the sections of the paper. Chapter I looks into the theoretical material concerning the stylistic device of repetition, reveals the functions of some specific types of repetition, explores the linguostylistic features of the device and shows examples on every type of repetition that can appear in literature. Chapter II contains brief biographies of the authors whose stories are used for the analysis, brief summaries of the stories analysed and carries out the analysis of the stories which centers around the functioning of the device of repetition in stories. The conclusion sums up the results of the research, describes basic findings of the analysis, namely how repetition affects th
