Abstract

The article considers derivative substantives as text-oriented language means that affect the content, style and evaluation of the text and reflect the intentions, mood, way of thinking and emotions of its author. The research is based on the material of the epistolary heritage of Chekhov. The semantic identity of derivative formations is investigated using the method of component analysis. As a result of the research, it was determined that derivative substantives, normal and occasional, are involved in the structuring and organization of the text space of Chekhov’s epistolary.
