The article deals with the case of grammatical pleonasm, which involves the verbalization of the verbal position of the actant or localizer by the case forms of the personal refl exive pronoun self, which have a spatial or subject-object meaning.
The article covers the analysis of pleonasm – a significant technique in I. A. Bunin’s individual style. A comprehensive systematic description of the text is carried out on the material of a complete text – the story Natalie – taking into account the context. The scientific novelty of the research lies in a complete and detailed analysis of the syntactic and semantic characteristics of pleonastic constructions in the prose text of I. A. Bunin, in revealing the range of their stylistic and intratextual functions.
