Summary/Abstract: The use of lexical elements (words, expressions, and idioms) of a foreign language in everyday informal communication is a frequent but still little-studied phenomenon in modern linguistics. The present paper is devoted to the question of “lexical transplantation” of various verbal elements (including those of intertextual character) from Russian to Ukrainian as a typical phenomenon in modern communication of native speakers of the Ukrainian language. On the basis of numerous examples and contexts from colloquial speech, the authors present the linguistic nature of such units, their pragmatic functions in the text (both oral and written) as well as their classification.
