Summary/Abstract: The article identifi es peculiarities of the stylistic transposition of religious lexemes thatare the members of metaphorical phrase nominations in modern Ukrainian mass media.Renewal of nominative phrase metaphors by replacing frequent lexemes with religiouslexemes reinforces the semantics of these semantic-syntactic associations giving themexpressiveness. Religious lexemes that update phrase nominations, already known andthe new ones, undergo semantic shifts. Semantic transformations of religious lexemes incontextual nominations are likely to demonstrate ironic connotations and combinations of the incongruous in terms of style and stylistics. Overcoming traditional syntagmaticsand recurrent actualizations of new meanings in diff erent contexts “strengthen” the newsemantics transforming particular meanings into separate ones.
