Most researchers consider, that curses are expressions, which regard to sacred sphere, that belongs to religious cult and ritual. As to curses – it often appeals to the underworld and mystic sphere, and also sacralization represents the process of formation of society and its culture. The most common division parameter of sacred texts is ‘the sphere of usage’ on magic (ritual), including curses and religious (universal). Household curses are considered to be desacralized.

The keywords in cusres (and threats) are those to denote the environment, household items and economic activity, names of domestic animals, insects. The article attempts to explain the influence power of curses’ semantics and imperativeness, differentiates the character of expressiveness.
