This article examines discourse strategies and stylistic devices in contemporary English novels from a linguistic perspective. The study focuses on the relationship between authorial and character discourse, narrative voice, dialogue structure, pragmatic meaning, and implicature. Drawing on theories of discourse analysis and stylistics, the paper explores the functional role of linguistic elements in literary texts. The novels of Ian McEwan and Zadie Smith are considered as representative examples of contemporary English fiction, illustrating distinctive narrative and conversational strategies. The findings contribute to the development of literary linguistics and stylistic analysis.
