The novel has been included in lists of the greatest books of our time, has become a modern classic, and the story of the same name from 1959 is mandatory reading for schoolchildren in the USA and Japan. This represents the first study of the category of artistic time in the novel. This consideration is relevant not only due to its significance as one of the main structural elements of the text, but also from the perspective of its importance in constructing an event sequence through the lens of the author’s unique vision and the formation of the intratextual psychomental paradigm of the protagonist. The relevance of the work is further substantiated by the interdisciplinary nature of the study, which combines linguistic and literary criticism approaches, aimed at understanding the functional capabilities of the category of time as a universal tool. This tool plays a key role in works of complex genre, including Keyes’s novel. The study identifies the main guidelines for developing the novel’s temporal structure design: “zero chronotope”, dichotomy “past vs present”, introduction of reminiscences as temporal catalysts of psycho-emotional outbursts and self-reflection. Time serves as the central construct within the text of the novel, intricately weaving together all plot lines and embodying a conceptual framework.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Проблематика романа американского писателя Д. Киза (1925-2014) «Цветы для Элджернона» (1966) вписана в круг экзистенциальных вопросов ХХ в.: смысл и цель человеческой жизни, семейные и межличностные взаимоотношения, место девиантной личности в социуме, этичность экспериментальной науки и медицины, эмпатия и сострадание, роль науки и знаний и др. Роман вошел в перечень величайших книг современности, стал новейшей классикой, а одноименный рассказ 1959 г., - обязательным для чтения школьников США и Японии. Впервые выполнено исследование репрезентации категории художественного времени в романе, рассмотрение которой целесообразно не только с позиции ее значимости как одного из структурных текстообразующих элементов произведения, но и с точки зрения ее релевантности для выстраивания событийной последовательности через призму индивидуально-авторского уникального видения и формирования внутритекстовой психоментальной парадигмы главного героя. Актуальность работы обосновывается междисциплинарной природой исследования, объединяющей лингвистический и литературоведческий аспекты, направленной на понимание функциональных возможностей категории времени как универсального инструмента, играющего ключевую роль в произведениях сложной жанровой специфики, к которым и относится роман Д. Киза. Выделены основные принципы оформления темпоральной структуры романа: «нулевой» хронотоп, дихотомия «прошлое vs настоящее», внедрение реминисценций в качестве темпоральных катализаторов психоэмоциональных всплесков и саморефлексии. Время - важнейший конструкт текста, оно объединяет все сюжетные линии и является концептуальным.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Daniel Keys</kwd><kwd>Flowers for Algernon</kwd><kwd>artistic time</kwd><kwd>fiction</kwd><kwd>chronotope</kwd><kwd>temporal structure</kwd><kwd>linguo-stylistic means</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Дэниел Киз</kwd><kwd>категория художественного времени</kwd><kwd>художественный текст</kwd><kwd>хронотоп</kwd><kwd>темпоральная структура</kwd><kwd>принципы репрезентации темпоральной структуры</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Borisenko, Yu.
