Popis: The article attempts to show the conditioning by extralinguistic factors of the active usage in the online discourse the lexeme maidan, related to it words from the viewpoint of word-building and occasional paronomasia with emotionally-estimated meaning. The lexeme maidan in recent years has become one of the most important discursive phenomenon within new modern-language situation. Events of the end of 2013- beginning of 2014 led to a new political confrontation in Ukraine and as a consequence - to activization of the word maidan. Analysis of linguistic resources, represented in online discourse, suggests that the semantic net of the lexeme has changed considerably: there are new, contextually preconditioned lexical meanings, some of the old meanings were on the periphery, some -got a very narrow scope of usage. In online discourse, language picture of the world is represented by a large number of new words and the intensification of the use of words, long-established in the lexical system. Many of these words have negative semantics and colloquial pejorative and derogatory overtones. This is due to extralinguistic factors - political events in the life of Ukrainian society at the present stage.
