The present paper is devoted to the analysis of stylistic devices which play an important role in H. H. Munro’s (Saki’s) short stories. The author singles out two main stylistic patterns in Saki’s short stories: distortion of collocations and idiomatic expressions, and extensive use of formal lexis in describing trivial and banal situations. There are five types of texts in the classification of Saki’s short stories introduced in the article; the classification is based on the role and function of the marked units used in the short stories. The stylistic patterns of Saki’s prose are in keeping with the aesthetic tendencies reflected in the works by O. Wilde, A. Beardsley, R. Firbank and other authors.
