Abstract

The article deals with metaphorical and metonymical modifications of the kernel components in homonymous phrases which due to the presence of certain cognitive links realize homophrasal relations and form homophrases.
 The semantic composition of the constituent parts of A + N, Participle + N, N + N models which indicates the features included in the semantic volume of a significate forms stable binary units, in our case, – military homophrases. Homonymity is the process of secondary nomination of free phrases, the result of which is the homophrase, formed by metaphorization or metonymization of a free word combination that coincides with it in form, but differs in meaning and has all the characteristics of idiomaticity. The number of classification and implicational intra-verbal content connections is determined by the degree of semantic complexity of the original meaning of the phrase noun component, which in its turn affects the potentiality for the emergence of regular polysemy. The polysemantic noun-kernels in word-combinations become homonyms which is a precondition of forming homophrases. In the cognitive aspect the formation of military homophrases is observed by the type of cognitive links ''donor  recipient''. Donors are the nouns of free phrases with the semantics of the names of thematic groups. The recipients are military homophrases as the names of cognitive categories. The kernels of military homophrases when undergoing metaphorical modifications may be the donors for the formation of new phraseological meanings in the non-military phraseology .
