Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the sociolinguistic functions of ethnonyms and names of religious denominations within the phraseological system of language on the basis of Turkish phraseological material. The conclusion is that ethnonyms and names of religious denominations can be a linguistic expression of social coercion with respect to the individual as well as a means of exclusion through equalizing “unnatural” phenomena of one’s own social milieu with phenomena belonging to the world of the other and, at the same time demonstrating the “purity” of the self or of the respective collective ego.
