The article considers the ability of phonosemantic lexis (sound imitative and sound symbolic \nwords) to semantic development, that can basically be explained by high metaphoric potential of \nnatural sounds as well as speech sounds. There is no random element in the sound structure of \nphonosemantically charged lexis, it is based on conventional expectative phonetic organization \npossessing a predicative meaning, that provides high potential for metaphorization. Semantic \nevolution of phonosemantic lexis results into formation of new easily decoded nominations, \nwhich occupy periphery of target concepts
