Abstract
Aim. To conduct a comparative analysis of ethnic stereotypes in the texts of German and British media.
Methodology. The research is based on the framework of comparative analysis that allows to identify integral and differential features in German and British language cultures. Besides, random sampling is applied, which allows to increase the objectivity of the research.
Results. It is shown that differences prevail in the image of Germany and Great Britain in the texts of mass media. The autostereotypic and heterostereotypic image of the above-mentioned countries is described.
Research implications. A successful comparative analysis in the texts of German and British media has been conducted. The obtained data expand our knowledge about the paradigmatic interaction of linguistic means, which reflect stereotypes in various linguistic cultures. The research results can be applied in classes on foreign languages, cultural linguistics, comparative lexicology and in practice of international communication.
