Abstract: The purpose of the study is to determine the ways of forming an extended phraseological metaphor, taking into account the structural organization of the basic phraseological unit and the presence of additional (actualizing) components in the context as the instantial (occasional) transformation of the phraseological unit in English and Russian. The novelty of the research consists in identifying three ways of forming an extended instantial metaphor in the context of the material under study, the prevailing way of deploying the image and additional ways of instantial transformation of the phraseological unit involved in the formation of an extended phraseological metaphor in English and Russian. As a result of the study, three types of formation of the extended phraseological metaphor in the context were identified: on the basis of basic phraseological unit (PU) without additional cases of occasional contextual realization or in combination with them, as well as, on the basis of initially transformed PU. The formation and functioning of the extended phraseological metaphor in the two languages have a lot of similarities. In particular, the synonymous type of image deployment prevails in both languages, regardless of the form of the basic PU, the most frequently used case of additional transformation is repetition, changes of the basic PU are carried out through insertion, ellipsis and substitution.
