The expressive function of occasionalisms in the style of V.V. Mayakovsky

the article focuses on the pragmatic aspect of studying occasionalisms: the peculiarities of their functioning in artistic speech, namely, in the style of the outstanding futurist poet V. Mayakovsky. An attempt is made to give a word-formation, semantic, morphological and stylistic characteristic of individual word innovations, as well as to determine the role they play in the figurative system of the text. The author analyzes the productive and unproductive models of word formation used by the poet and considers examples of occasionalisms from his poems and verses, revealing the expressive and stylistic possibilities of individual authorial innovations. The author considers occasional metaphors, their connotative load, notes that occasional lexemes largely contribute to the creation of the figurative system of the text and are the means that form the author's style. The work repeatedly emphasizes the experimental nature of occasional word formation in the poet’s creative workshop, his desire to reveal the semantic and grammatical potential inherent in the language.
