Having analyzed the interpretations of holophrastic constructions’ characteristic features, given in various scientific sources, the authors presents a generalized classification of their linguistic properties as well as provides examples of their actualization in English literary texts. The carried out analysis allowed the authors to systematize English holophrastic constructions according to the following most significant features of their linguistic expression: communicative-and-pragmatic aim, form of expressing meaning, degree of their emotional loading, syntactic function in the sentence and their structure. The paper advanced the idea that the substantiated classification can serve as a methodological tool for structuring classes, subclasses and groups of the experimental material within the scope of similar linguistic research.
