Abstract
The article provides a theoretical overview of the main approaches to defining the semantic content of lexemes that make up a paronymic pair. The analysis performed enables to conclude that in speech, consonant words enter into relations of semantic contamination, which can be contextual, or arise due to the similarity in lexical meanings of units. The factors that determine semantic correlation of paronyms are indicated.
