Abstract
The article deals with the phenomenon of pronominalization of Russian adjectives on the examples of the words “известный (known)” and “определенный (definite)”, which have indefinite pronoun meaning. It is noted that pronominalization primarily concerns the semantic and functional level of pronominative words, it is the result of grammaticalization and lexicalization of word forms and at the same time has a gradual nature. Each analyzed word has an individual way of transition from its original part of speech to pronouns, and therefore a detailed analysis of each case is required.
