SUMMARY
The objective of this paper is to outline phraseological units in Chinese, English and the Slavonic languages apt to be employed as equivalents proper in the aspect of translation. The results of the study were obtained according to the procedure comprising the following stages. 1. The detection of phrasemes with close or identical cultural semantics. 2. The determination of the unity/similarity of the prototypical situation behind the multi-lingual phrasemes compared. 3. The comparison of the lexical composition of phrasemes for the coincidence of the semantics of the vocabularies forming them in all the languages under analysis during the literal interpretation of the phrasemes. 4. The determination of the similarity/identity of the syntactic construction of phrasemes in the languages compared. 5. The modeling of common building patterns for phraseological units with a certain cultural and ideological load relevant for the cultures represented by Chinese, English and the Slavonic languages.
Key words:literary translation, phraseme, structure, lexical semantics, prototypical situation, concept, discourse, native picture of the world.
