The article considers one of the major types of word-formation – conversion. Conversion involves the cre- ation of one part of speech from another part of speech with- out affixation. It is emphasized that especially productive in the newspaper style and the style of fiction is such type of con- version as substantivation. Substantivation is characterized as the formation of new nouns from different parts of speech with- out derivation. The paper investigates the subtypes of substan- tivation in modern British and American newspaper articles as well as in literary texts from morphological and stylistic view- points. In the article special attention is paid to the verb-noun conversion which is realized in the frequent use of the substan- tivized modal verb must, the substantivized compound verbal predicates with modal verbs must and can, and the substantiv- ized modal words.
