Summary/Abstract: Deviant syntagmatic constructions of the explanatory type with the preposition о are widespread in the oral public discourse. Most often, the violations occur for two key reasons: either because of the omission of a locutive, mental-cognitive or informative-communicative marker (verb or noun) obligatory for such constructions, which serves as their syntagmatic core, or because of the substitution of such a marker by a unit with related semantics, which does not imply the use of a construction with the expletive case. Both elliptical omission and lexical substitution of the syntagmatic core are based on metonymic shifts at the level of inner speech, in which the planned construction with the prepositional expletive is subjected to mental reduction in the course of oral utterance.
