Abstract

This paper addresses semantic analysis of the metaphorical title of Dennis Lehane's novel "Shutter Island". The nominative metaphor in the strong position of the text (its title) contains coding properties as it combines two lexical units similar in semantics so that main senses are supplemented with peripheral ones. This technique enhances the effect on the reader and accentuates the meaning of the book. This paper addresses semantic analysis of the metaphorical title of Dennis Lehane's novel "Shutter Island".
