Annotation: Based on the works of English-speaking writers of the mid-twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, the article examines the main types of advancement (paradox, allusions, convergence and the effect of deceived expectation), which contribute to the creation of a pragmatic effect by the author of a literary text. The purpose of the article is to reveal the connection between stylistics and pragmatics of a literary text using the functional characteristics of stylistic means and techniques. The relevance and practical significance of the work lies, first of all, in the need for further study of the significance of a systematic and comprehensive study of stylistic means and their implementation in artistic discourse. With the help of descriptive and comparative methods of research, as well as by conducting a stylistic analysis of the English literary text, the authors come to the conclusion that the pragmatics of the text is a multilevel structure, where the style of the text plays an important role.

Keywords: text pragmatics, stylistic means, advancement, convergence, allusion, deceived expectation effect, literary text, American literature.
