Summary/Abstract: The relevance of the study is predetermined by the active use of new formations in the fictional and journalistic styles of the Ukrainian language, and, consequently, the need to study them from the point of view of linguistics in word-formation, semantic and functional aspects. The fact that in our study for the first time systematically and comprehensively the word-formation and stylistic features of occasionalism in the artistic discourse of Irene Rozdobudko are analysed constitutes the scientific novelty of the research. Aim of investigation is to analyse and describe the phenomenon of occasionality and its functional features in the fictional discourse of the modern Ukrainian writer Iren Rozdobudko. The research methods were the descriptive method with the techniques of end-to-end extract and systematization (we use it to select and interpret factual material), comparison (to analyze, synthesize and generalize scientific theories); methods of contextological (determining the meaning of the studied fragment of the text), word-formation (establishing the features of creating neologisms), text-interpretive and linguo-stylistic types of analysis. Conclusions of the study complement the lexicology of the Ukrainian language, and also serve as an addition to the formation of the dictionary of the individual style of the writer. The study of the composition, structure, semantics, functions of occasional vocabulary highlights the complex problems of general word theory and contributes to the study of specific issues of lexicology, grammar, stylistics, and is of considerable interest for the recent history of language. The authors’ use of a large number of individual-authorial innovations, which in the fictional discourse acquire significant expressive and stylistic significance, is motivated by the necessity to identify certain shades of meaning, evaluate the image and the need to name new concepts.
