Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on ”comparative idioms” in the interculteralcommunication and argues for the need to study them as a means ofimplementing cultural norms. There was made an attempt to reveal the culturalconnotation of some standard images of comparative idioms. A systemic analysisof a contrastive-typological nature, going beyond the confines of a bilingualperspective, is an appropriate theoretical contribution to the field of phraseology.Knowledge of the relationships between meanings, components and variety ofimages, which underlie phraseological comparisons in Germanic, Slavic andRomance languages, is of relevance for European intercultural communication.
