In the present research work, the authors conducted a linguocultural study of English and Russian paroemias, verbalizing spatial relationships and compared both linguocultures in the framework of national mental attitudes. Having analyzed English paroemias with spatial meaning, the authors defined main groups of paroemias with different meanings, such as “its own-foreign”, “inside-outside”, “near-far”, “closely-rarely”, “left-right”, “up-down”, “world”, “house”, “mountain”. The authors focused on paroemias with toponymical component in this research work. They collected samplings in a random order and used different English and Russian dictionaries, phrase-books, as well as varieties of electronic resources. The authors pay special attention to the modelling of paroemias semantics. The revealed models allow explicating the cognitive linguoculturological message, contained in paroemias.
