Abstract. The purpose of the study is to describe some features of the Sino-Russian idiolects of Primorsky Krai as opposed to other chronological and regional variants of the Sino-Russian contact languages. Scientific novelty of the work lies in analysing the material that has never been a subject of a special study in the Russian science, as well as in collecting the data that make it possible to take a fresh look at the modern Sino-Russian contact idioms. The attained results show that the term "pidgin" is hardly applicable to the Sino-Russian idiolects due to their variation and peculiarities of social functioning. The analysis of the phonetic-phonological level of the Sino-Russian idiolects has allowed the researcher to identify the features that they share with other chronological and regional variants, as well as some entirely new characteristics (retention of consonant clusters), acknowledgement of which contradicts well-established views on the phonetic structure of the Sino-Russian contact languages.
