Summary/Abstract: In his works, Mikhail Mikhaĭlovich Zhvanetskiĭ frequently uses language play on the morphological level. It serves comic, expressive, and evaluative functions, simultaneously being a manifestation of authorial individualism. The object of this study is neosemanticisms and authorial neologisms. These linguistic innovations have been created by means of prefixes, prefixes and suffixes, reduction, compounding, substantivization, and contamination; some neologisms are mixed types. The unique expressiveness and vividness of the authorial neologisms based on the contrast with the base of the word allow him to play with meanings and consequently, achieve comic effects.
