The article identifies the motivation of the semantics of expressive lexical- semantic variants of nouns functioning in subdialects of the Transbaikal Old Believers — Semeiskie. We have considered homogeneous and heterogeneous substantive metaphors, and identified their types according to the motivating seme, i. e. on the basis of metaphor- ical transfer — associative, semantic, sensory, utilitarian, functional, etc., as well as the models — “object  object”, “person  person”, “object  human”, “animal  hu- man”, “physical phenomenon (disease)  human ”. Heterogeneous substantive meta- phors quantitatively prevail over homogeneous ones. Substantial metaphors are anthropo- centric, their most productive model is “object  person”. The regular type of metaphorical transfers of expressive substantives is semantic. The study confirms the similarity of national and cultural perceptions of Semeiskie and other groups of the Russian people, and the difference in their implementation at the lexical level.
