Summary/Abstract: Study of anti-proverbs in modern Russian and Polish languages showed that some traditional paremiological units generate large number of neologisms, whereas other well recognizable among Russian and Polish speakers generate hardly a few of them. This article is an attempt to formulate the problem of the sources of this disproportion. The author focuses on the lexical sources of the paremiological derivation paying special attention to the mechanism of substitution, trying to find a pattern which could explain the phenomenon of productivity imbalance between anti-proverb generators.
