The article is devoted to the analysis of the nominative and axiological paradigm of the denotation “military actions in Ukraine: 2014 – 2023”. On the basis of the linguistic concept of the lexical-semantic dimension of the linguistic picture of the world, based on the doctrine of the mental and lingual essence of language, its objective and subjective content, official and unofficial names of the event are distinguished. The official names of the military actions in Ukraine in 2022-2023, which include the adjective full-scale and the nouns invasion and war, were chosen as the object of the study. Their specific characteristics are distinguished, systematic functional-temporal correlative relations between them are established, lexical-semantic, actually semantic correlative relations of the researched units with those in which the constructive position is filled by the nouns of confrontation, conflict, attack are clarified against the axiological background of pejorativeness, aggression. Due regard is paid to the syntactic structures with the grammatically dominant component war, which, despite the official status of the syntactic structures full-scale invasion, full-scale war, have a high degree of productivity and claim to occupy a space as an alternative, universally accepted name of the event under study. Specific representatives of constructions with a deterministic invasion constituent are characterized in detail in the form of simple submodels (“full-scale invasion” / “driving force”, “full-scale invasion” / “event location”, “full-scale invasion” / “event time”) or complex (“full-scale invasion” / “driving force” / “event location”, “full-scale invasion” / “driving force” / “event time”, “full-scale invasion” / “driving force” / “event location” / “event time”). These models are identified by the type of semantic reference of pre-substantive concretizes with integrative schemas “participant(s) of the event”, “place of the event”, “time of the event”.
