The article is devoted to semantics of the contaminated structures. The presented analysis is based on the language of Russian and Polish media. From this point of view we can distinguish: 1) contaminations with the meaning being a sum of meanings of their components, and 2) contaminations with the meaning being the accumulation of meanings of their components. The semantic dominant of the given contaminations is concentrated in one of the elements or appears independently of components, meaning the distinct term as a sum of the components.
