The article “Connotative-Stylistic functions of paraguayisms in the novel “Gunter’s winter” by Juan Manuel Marcos” is about the peculiarities of the linguistic units which are typical for Paraguay together with its forms of speech, and the use of paraguayisms in literature analyzed.
A description and general classification of the paraguayisms from several points of view are made by:
Formal classification: phonetic paraguayisms; grammatical (morphosyntactic); lexicals (including idioms and turns of speech).
Lexico-semantic classification - from the point of view of appearance of connotations.
The sociolinguistic aspect is underlined in the use of paraguayisms in the daily life by the Paraguayans and in the literature of the country. The maximum attention in the article is paid to the lexical units.
