Abstract
This article examines the role of stylistic convergence in the process of artistic symbols interaction. The main task of the present research is dedicated to the study of artistic symbols in the novels by J. R. Fowles because his books are filled with deep philosophical content. The main methods of the present research included a definition analysis of the word representing the artistic symbol; contextual analysis and methods of interpretation, generalization, as well as the method of quantitative calculation of contextual actualization of the studied units in order to fix their functional activity. As a result, it was revealed that stylistic convergence of artistic symbols accentuated their dominating meanings and influenced their changing. It was also found that stylistic convergence could appear not only in the level of micro context but also in the level of macro context. This study has a scientific novelty, as it has studied the process of formation of new meanings in an artistic symbol with the help of their interaction.References
