The article contemplates nonce-words as markers of communicative strategy of manipulative self-presentation in the dramedy "Sex and the city" as well as defines the role of nonce-words in creating stylistic devices which in their turn verbalize communicative devices, tactics, strategies. As research findings indicate, the self-presentation strategy is realized through sets of cooperative and non-cooperative tactics. realized by means of nonce-word-markers, being blends, compounds, holophrastic constructions, affixal formations and abbreviations that form various stylistic devices, further functioning as communicative devices. Positive manipulative self-presentation prevails in the dramedy, whereas negative manipulative self-presentation is seldom used, since all communicative situations represent 'girl-talk".
