Abstract

The article attempts to categorize such notions as personal language, idiolect and idiostyle in artistic texts. They are decisions and possibilities, which are specific to each author, of developing a message through an individual choice/selection of resources disposed of by the code. The article exposes external linguistic designation of the artistic text’s language with regard to a specified class (category) represented by an author. Two designations are distinguished thereof, i.e. profession-lectal (priests) and bio-lectal (women). Each of these categories of artistic texts’ originators functioned within the specified frames of model texts specific to the distinguished class of authors.
