The researcher justifies the thesis that thesaurus way of knowledge systematization is given in thesauruses of different branches. They are important for specific information-searching systems where the knowledge representation is equivalent to terminological systematization in the definite subject area. In the research work hyponym-hyperonym relationship is presented as the leading factor of the thesaurus construction of the studied genre.

Keywords: thesaurus, short story genre, fiction, texts’ corpus, hyponym, hyperonym, semantic relationship, subject area, representation of knowledge.
