Abstract. This article deals with the verbalization of the concept “MONEY” according to a sample of pare-miological units of English and Russian languages. The comparative analysis of the manifestations of the ana-lyzed concept in proverbs and sayings of both languages revealed that all paremia were divided into seven categories according to their semantic content, which ultimately helped to identify similarities and differences in the verbalization of the concept “MONEY” by the two peoples. In the course of the analysis it was recorded that when assessing this concept in the Russian language con-sciousness prevailed more spiritual aspect and traditional values of the people, while in the English culture there is a more pragmatic attitude to money as a means of achieving personal and material gain.
