This article deals with a comparative ethnolinguistic analysis of the “son’s wife” image in German and Russian phraseological scheme of things. The work addresses issues related to the use of language as a means of translating culture to reveal the ethnic nature of the linguistic picture of the world of comparable languages; an ethnolinguistic approach is actively used to determine the specific possibilities of the “son’s wife” image, reflecting the semantic category of “family relations” and representing this category in the Russian phraseological worldview. This approach allows us to reveal national-value character traits and determine a system of stereotypes, images, standards, reoriented in the worldview and world perception of the representatives of German and Russian linguistic cultures.
