The article brings a contribution on occasionalisms, used by two acknowledged Slovenian authors Lilijana Praprotnik-Zupancic known widely by her pen name Lila Prap, and Bina Stampe Zmavc. The presented typology of their occasionalisms on the one hand derives from lettristic elements (V LENArtu je zivela deklica HeLENA), successive combination of words and their trunks in the new entity (levaca - lev- + (k)-aca) or inserting of one word into another one (oplevica - op- + -lev- + -ica). On the other hand there is the so-called modelling and creative use of already known native or foreign word-forming pattern, in which only the part of new contextual connected meaning of the word was replaced, such as (klept-o-sned-ka - parallel case to sladk-o-sned-ka) or (stavbotekt - parallel case to arhitekt). The function of such words is a word game with a dimension of nonsense, and consequently intentional approaching to children language. But for the authors this is a process of experimentation and a source of creative linguistic pleasure.
