Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes A.P. Chekhov’s idiomatic mastery in his early work of the large fictional format and evaluates its role in the author’s creative evolution. Transformations of the nation-wide idioms vary from structural ones to those falling beyond the frameworks of structural and semantic analysis. All modifications of the stable expressions are considered to be the means of speech stylization used by the narrator. Thus, the language imperfections of the literary work are regarded as being used deliberately and contributing to the formation of the narrator’s image. They should not be identified with A.P. Chekhov’s stylistic manner.
