The present article investigates the aesthetic functions performed by occasionalisms — deliberate, author-specific lexical innovations — within the poetic system of Roger McGough, one of the most prominent representatives of the Liverpool Poets movement. Drawing on conceptual frameworks developed in cognitive linguistics, literary stylistics, and the theory of word formation, the study proposes a six-parameter typology of structural types of occasionalisms identified in McGough's published verse collections (1967–2004) and subjects each category to detailed functional analysis. The article demonstrates that occasionalisms in McGough's poetry fulfil at least six interrelated aesthetic functions: defamiliarisation (after V. Shklovsky), ludic-playful, expressive-evaluative, image-generating, semantic compression, and intertextual-allusive. The empirical basis consists of 217 occasionalisms extracted by continuous sampling from six collections. The findings confirm that occasionalism is not a peripheral stylistic ornament but a load-bearing structural principle of McGough's idiolect, inseparable from the performative, socially engaged, and anti-elitist character of Liverpool poetry as a whole.
