Introduction. Repetition is a stylistic device, when identical sounds, morphemes, words, the same syntactic structures (phrases and sentences) are used at a short distance from each other. The article considers different types of repetitions: lexical and syntactical, phonological: alliteration, assonance, and also parallel constructions. The object of the research is the repetitions participating in creation of verbal portraits in Mari novels are. Work is based on the deep analysis of four Mari novels.
Materials and Methods. The objectives to achieve the goals of the research set a complex of several complementary methods. The main method used in the research is descriptive. It was used with the elements of systemic-functional approach. With the help of this method the actual material was selected, to be studied with the use of component and contextual analysis. The application of these methods promotes the linguistic (lexical) material followed by its classification.
Results and Discussion. Wide opportunities of Mari syntax, as various groups of phrases and sentences, create a basis for appearing of syntactic stylistic devices which appear as a result of changes in the main models of components of syntactic level. Lexical and syntactical repetitions prevails in the material. Stylists classify lexical and syntactic repetitions according to their composite models. Anaphoric, epiphoric types of repetition of separate words, word-combinations, doublet words, anadiplosis, root and synonymic types of repetition were distinguished.
Conclusion. Classification of repetitions is carried out according to repeated elements. The statement of the repetition as a syntactic device can be considered as relative as not only the syntactic elements of the word-combination or sentence model repeated, but also units of phonological, lexical, morphological levels.
Key words: repetition; stylistic reception; Mari novel.
