Summary/Abstract: It is shown how prototypical modes of relating text fragments to each other are eroded in Gogol’s story – in particular, how the thematic-rhematic structure of sentences is deformed, expected anaphoric links are interrupted, anti-narrative effects arise in those portions of the text which most certainly should be of narrative nature. The conclusion is that erosion of syntagmatic relations is characteristic of Gogol’s text as a whole.
