Abstract
The author introduces the expressive potential of derivational means in Ivan Bunin’s prose. It is noted that the writer consistently avoided occasional word formation. Innovations in his works are potential in nature and few in number. The study is aimed at identifying expressive derivational means and determining their functions in the prose of Bunin. The resources were analysed with descriptive and structural-semantic methods. The author distinguishes the groups of derivational means significant for Bunin’s idiostyle: complex adjectives and adverbs with a trope component in their composition, folk etymological formations and expressive derivational dialectisms. Morphemic repetition is considered as essential for Bunin’s prose. It performs the intensifying-distinguishing and text-forming functions and serves to deploy a certain motif and theme as well as to create a word picture. Actualisation of derivational relations in Bunin’s prose reveals the implied sense of the text.
