Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the genre and stylistic features of the travel sketches “Frigate Pallada” by I. A. Goncharov in light of the textformingrole of the lexicon. The lexicon analysis of the text helped to reveal a set of lexical group units organizing the text. It wasdetermined that the implementation of the text-forming function occurs differently: in a linear or a nonlinear way. The vocabularythat implements this function in a linear way includes ethnonyms, toponyms, names of exotic realities, the regional language andmarine language. The lexical units of these groups are evenly distributed around the text and form the lexical “core” of the work. Thevocabulary that implements this function in a nonlinear way includes key words of those parts of sketches that contain the author’sconceptual vision of the world’s image (in particular the lexical units relating to the semantic center formed by the ethnonym Britishand an adjective English). The vocabulary of both types makes up the sketches’ genre and its stylistic originality and reflects twostages of knowledge – observation (fixation of the real objects, which have appeared in sight of the traveler) and reflection (processingof the received facts, their classification, and conclusion making).
