Abstract. The article examines the English and Russian comparisons in the linguo-culturological aspect. The paper aims to identify peculiarities of the English comparisons contrasted to the Russian ones. Originality of the study involves analysing figurativeness as a component of lexical meaning that represents and describes national and cultural phenomena. Extensive illustrative material is presented. The findings indicate that the figurative basis of comparisons is a key component of meaning that has a powerful emotional-evaluative potential. The images of comparisons differ cardinally in the English and Russian languages; consequently, the English and Russian comparisons differ in terms of their emotional-evaluative potential and stylistic markedness.
