Abstract

The article is devoted to the actual problem of the functioning of occasionalisms in the fiction. Various approaches to the interpretation and classification of occasionalisms, to the assessment of their functional diversity and causes of occurrence are considered. The specificity of individual authorial neoplasms in the works of A. Andreev, V. Kazakevich, E. Popova, E. Skobelev – Belarusian authors writing in Russian – is determined. The studied prose revealed occasional anthroponomics substances-composites, phonetically altered “speaking” surnames and nicknames, onymic and appellative contaminants. Occasionalisms formed with a violation of the internal valence of the word perform expressive, evaluative, pragmatic functions, being a means of figurative characterization of characters, one of the ways of expressing new, non-trivial meanings.
