摘要：The Russian language of the 21st century is characterised by very active processes of ad hoc word formation. To the number of such occasional forms belong nonstandard comparatives derived from pronouns. The aim of my research is to determine if comparative forms derived from pronouns have some common features. This was done by means of analysing contexts where such comparatives occur. It was discovered that pronouns serve as a lexical base for comparatives in two cases: 1. If they express the intensifi cation of what the pronoun originally refers to, without any semantic shades. 2. If they contain a non-pronominal component in their meaning, typical of adjectives and adverbs, and bear some additional connotative semantics acquired in a certain context. Some pronoun-derived comparatives occur fairly frequently (ca. 200 times), others only once or twice. The word ещё (ещё онее) is obligatory for many infrequent forms, as well as for such forms that are diffi cult to identify in the text due to their unusual character. In contexts, the normative form is often employed, and thereafter the comparative, which helps to understand the occasionalism and, consequently, to achieve the aim of the word-play. Besides, several comparatives are derived from pronouns as components of collocations and even idioms: себе на уме — еще себее. In this case they express stronger intensiveness of qualities and features designated by the idiom. Pronoun-derived comparatives are quite illustrative as to language development. Their study allows us to identify new processes taking place in the language and to give a better picture of its current state.
