Goncharov in the light of the text-forming role of the lexicon. As a result of the analysis of lexicon of the text the lexical groups which units will organize the text have been allocated. It was found that the implementation of the text-forming function occurs differently: linear or nonlinear way. The vocabulary that implements this function in a linear way includes ethnonyms, toponyms, names of exotic realities, regional language, marine language. Lexical units of these groups are evenly distributed all over the text and form the lexical “core” of the work. The vocabulary that implements this function in a nonlinear way includes key words of those parts of sketches that contain the author’s conceptual vision of the world image (in particular the lexical units relating to the semantic center formed by an ethnonym British and an adjective English). The vocabulary of both types makes up the sketches’ genre and stylistic originality and reflects two stages of knowledge – observation (fixing of the objects of reality which have appeared in sight of the traveler) and reflection(processing of the received facts, their classification, receiving conclusions).
