Abstract. The study aims to identify the characteristic features of the syntactic means of verbalisation of the SAFETY concept in the English language. To attain this aim, the paper identifies and characterises the possibilities of expressing ideas about safety/security discovered when transitioning from the lexical to the syntactic level of their consideration, providing the addition of meanings of the lexical units verbalising the SAFETY concept. Scientific novelty of the study lies in determining that during the transition from the lexical to the syntactic level of analysis of the linguistic means verbalising the SAFETY concept, semantic features acquire more differentiated characteristics (due to the concretisation of the means, the regulatory framework, the object and subject of safety/security; the metamorphosis of modality of the meanings of lexical units in antonymic pairs of phrases and the uncertainty of some ideas about safety/security requiring consideration of the context). As a result of the study, variable ideas about safety/security expressed by phrases the structural components of which include a lexeme verbalising the SAFETY concept and a lexeme providing the addition (expansion, narrowing, opposition) of its meaning have been determined. The expansion of primary semantic features that occurs when analysing a higher (syntactic) level of expression and transmission of ideas about safety/security by means of phrases peculiar to native English speakers has been proved.
