Abstract
The names of Boris Pasternak and Marina Tsvetaeva are connected not only by the time period and poetry writing but also by a long-term private correspondence. This article discusses occasionalisms found in the correspondence of B. Pasternak and M. Tsvetaeva as a means of forming the individual style of the poets. The comparative, descriptive and statistical research methods were used. The author draws attention to the fact that every new word created by the poets becomes a reflection of their world, serves accuracy and capacity of reasoning, as well as often carries dominant and symbolic meanings.
