Abstract: The study deals with the comparative cognitive semantic and pragmatic discourse analysis of the use of the animalistic phraseological nominations. They characterize behavior, appearance and peculiarities of human beings. The aim of the study is to show how the linguistic view of the world is seen throughout the verbal material. It is supposed that animalistic phraseological nominations are the means that can help the researcher to see the way the outer world is conceptualized in the human consciousness. The actual material of the analysis is represented with the examples in the Byelorussian, Russian and Ukrainian languages. The point is that alongside with the common cognitive characteristic features in the motives of animalistic nomination of the people the lingual image of the world possesses its singleness in the languages analyzed. The actual evaluative functioning of the lexemes examined being influenced greatly by the latter phenomenon is being traced throughout the study.
