Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to some aspects of the chronotope of the novel My children by Guzel Yakhina. This study attempts to determine constitutive elements, which co-create chronotopic structure of the text. The aim is to deepen the insight into the functioning of the space-time units in the fictional world of the novel. Specifically, through a detailed analysis of the constellation of the main character’s communicative vectors within each of the chronotopes, the article investigates the impact of these communication focuses on the interconnected space-time units. In this context, communicative vector is defined as a range, direction and intensity of ongoing communication processes of the speaker. The analysis describes in detail how the main protagonist executes his communicative vectors in the text. The study then shows the key importance of these processes for the chronotopic structure of the novel.
