The literary works of Oscar Wilde are characterized by wit, aestheticism and artistic use of language. This paper examines linguistic anomalies in Wilde's plays, prose, and poetry, particularly the ways he subverts language to generate humour, irony, and social critique. Focusing on deviation at the lexical, syntactic, semantic and phonological levels, the study explores the use of style in The Importance of Being Earnest, The Picture of Dorian Gray, selecting epigrams. The results show that Wilde's studied departures from linguistic norms serve to undermine Victorian convention, provide the maximum satirical impact, and draw attention to aesthetic beauty.
