The extended information about the antithesis and oxymoron is provided in the article. “The da Vinchi Code” of D. Brown is proved to be enriched with antithesis and oxymoron. The use of both stylistic devices adds emotionality to the language of the fictions, and this in the expression of both the inner and outer world of the characters created in the fiction, their feelings and excitement to the smallest point have been observed in the article. Together with these stylistic devices, it is possible to draw a reader’s attention to the work more. The possibility of turning the phrases expressed by “as” into oxymarons by the transformation method is also dealt with. The article also deals with the investigation of how the oxymoron found in “The Da Vinci Code” was found to be more commonly used in a number of languages, and it was not difficult to determine that they were oxymorons. Besides, the existence of a purposeful use of such stylistic figures in the examples of fictionals is also taken into regard. Different patterns of oxymoron and antithesis are presented and analyzed in the article. It is estimated that these stylistic tools enrich the language of fictionals and add colorful shades to it. It is proved in the article, that transformation of some phrases into oxymoron is a complex process together with its elements. The ways of these two stylistic tools, which can be transformed from one to the other by the method of transformation, are dealt as well. Moreover different thoughts about the antithesis and oxymoron are provided in this article. It is also mentioned that each writer and poet has their own attitude to these linguistic phenomena. KEYWORDS: oxymoron, antithesis, fiction, style, stylistic figure INTRODUCTION TO THE PROBLEM. English is a language with a rich lexicon and phraseology, word formation capabilities, perfect phonetic and grammatical structure, diversified functional styles of the literary language. Different levels of this language have been continuously studied for many years. As a result, all this brings to the fore the study of language from a stylistic point of view. This is because a language learned grammatically can be studied stylistically. Thus, the comprehensive investigation of the stylistic means of the language, especially the contrast and oxymoron from the lexical and syntactic stylistic means, is one of the urgent issues facing linguistics. Language is a means of understanding that serves the various manifestations of human thinking. A.M. Demirchizade notes that the question of how to use language in understanding and understanding attracts more attention, because they are more important than the clarification of the concept of style [Demirchizade 1962, pp. 24-28]. In general, just as there is a difference between understanding and expressing what is understood, there are certain connections between the two. Thus, when there is an appropriate unity between thinking and the language process, thinking becomes already understood truth. To understand the manifestation of this unity, let’s consider two fields, science and literature. As it is known, science and literature is the understanding of existence. However, since their manifestation is different, science is not literature, and literature is not science. In general, each field has a different way of understanding, way of expression and style of expression. Besides, science is abstraction, and literature is concretization. However, concretization and abstraction cannot be equated. Regarding the expression of these two areas, we should note that the system of terminology is significant for the expression of science, and the system of imagery is significant for fiction. It is clear from here that the various manifestations of the means of expression, based on the communication conditions, only form one or another style when they are organized by a system. On the contrary, if this protest did not create a certain system, then no style can be mentioned here. These different manifestations are based on the purpose of the speaker or writer, the purpose of writing the spoken or written ideas, and the attitude of the speaker or writer. Thus, different branches of the literary language arise, and such branches are called styles.
