Summary/Abstract: The desacralization of lexemes such as Бог, Господ ‘God, Lord’ in interjections and figurative meanings in Bulgarian and Russian is studied within the framework of the linguоcultural concept of linguistic picture of the world, or worldview. According to the Bulgarian spelling norms, in sacred texts Бог, Господ, Божията Майка ‘God, Lord, Mother of God’ are written with capital letters as a sign of their sacredness, and in figurative meanings, inserted and interjected phrases it is recommended to write with a small letter, probably as a sign of desacralization. There are similar prescriptions in the Russian language.
