Abstract. The article identifies the functions of diminutives in the novel "Crime and Punishment" by F. M. Dostoevsky. It is shown that diminutives serve to describe, characterize and evaluate the personages - the old pawnbroker Alyona Ivanovna, Semyon Zakharovich Marmeladov, Sonechka Marmeladova and others. Moreover, using diminutives the writer expresses his attitude towards a personage, object, phenomenon, transfers characters’ emotions, describes their environment. For the first time the authors provide a comprehensive study of diminutives in the novel "Crime and Punishment" and identify the essential role of these lexical units as a stylistic, characterological and expressive means, as an element of the writer’s individual style.
