Abstract

Significant social changes are inevitably reflected in speech practices. The language of fiction, which quickly adapts to new realities and conditions of social life, is no exception. The pilot study described in the article was carried out on the basis of 15 short stories by different Russian writers written of the 1900–1930s and reflects the variability of the authors’ style at the morphological level. The article also discusses some general patterns identified at the morphological level (distribution of parts of speech and individual grammatical forms) for the studied sample of literary texts in diachrony.
