This article focuses on the investigation of such linguistic phenomenon as conversion, namely
its characteristic features in the system of English parts of speech and its translation into Ukrainian.
Understanding the conversion forming mechanisms can significantly expand the wordstock of the English
language. It is stated that there are several approaches to understanding this phenomenon, which are more
likely to complement, but not contradict each other. It was determined that conversion refers to the main
highly-productive types of word-formation. The article illustrates the main characteristics of conversion
that distinguish this unique phenomenon among other types of word-formation and define the main
reasons why it is so widespread in the English language. The research also presents analysis of this
unique phenomenon in the system of English notional and functional parts of speech. In addition, the
peculiarities of the translating the various semantic models of conversion from English into Ukrainian are
properly investigated. For a better understanding, a great number of appropriate examples are given. At
the same time, special attention is paid to the possible translation difficulties caused by striking
differences in the English and Ukrainian languages. The investigation determines the ways of overcoming
these difficulties. Moreover, the paper presents analysis of the conversion combinability with other types
of word formation and interesting cases of converted phrases, sentences or their parts. The research
encourages the idea of further investigation of conversion phenomenon. The results of this study can
assist any translator in adequacy from English into Ukrainian.
