Abstract:
This article discusses common and specific images of the Russian and German axiological phraseologisms through
the prism of cultural codes. The authors have differentiated 14 cultural codes within which the common images of the
Russian and German axiological phraseological units are defined, carried out the quantitative analysis of distribution of
phraseological units in the codes of the culture and images of set phrases according to the type. It has been found that the
basis of interpretation of the images is revelation of an internal form of the phraseologism that binds the value / antivalue and
a language picture of the world. Specific images in the Russian and German phraseological units correlate with the Russian
and German cultures.
