Abstract
This research analyzes the syntactic-stylistic aspect of conditional sentences in English. In particular, we analyze the syntactic-stylistic features of expression of conditional sentences in English. The corpus data for our analysis are literary works of English writers. The research materials are conditional sentences of the literary texts in English. The procedure of analysis goes through the following stages: the presentation of the context: linguistic and extralinguistic; the example sentence under discussion, and analysis and interpretation of the problem in question. The results of research show that the syntactic-stylistic peculiarities of conditionals are determined by: punctuation marks; contracted forms; intensifiers; doubling; order of clauses. Such syntactic-stylistic features of conditional sentences are used to produce a stylistic effect on the reader.
