Author's punctuation as intentional violation of punctuation rules (researched modern prose and poetry)

The article illustrates the main types of intentional violation of punctuation norms committed by modern Russian writers and poets: а transformation of punctuation marks (reduction or increase in the number of points in an ellipsis), irregular combinations of marks (blend of an ellipsis and a comma), а refusal of punctuation and the usage of typographical (asterisk, square and figure brackets) and «computer» icons (slash, at-sign, smiley) in punctuation functions - all these means create an author’s idiostyle.
