Abstract
An oxymoronimis is considered as a reflection of linguistic duality and a
 result of conceptual integration. An oxymoronimas as a result of a modern
 word creation and an oxymoron as a well-known stylistic device are
 compared structurally and semantically. The key semantic sign of an oxymoronim
 (a unity of contrasts) is singled out. In addition to that a possible
 definition of this notion is stated.On the one hand a cognitive dissonance
 of an oxymoron is underlined, on the other hand an attention is paid on the
 instability, diffusion and emergence of an oxymoronim’s semantics. It is obviously
 possible to interpret a lexical meaning of an oxymoronim by means
 of the following: extralinguistic and linguistic contexts of its appearance and
 functioning and this nomination’ssynonymic paroemias. Uniqueness of an
 occasional oxymoronimis is noted for the Russian lingvoculture in view of
 quantitative leveling of these linguistic novelties in the communicative space
 of the modern English language.
