Abstract. The article deals with the problem of the dichotomy of good and evil verbalization in modern English and Ukrainian. The differences between cultural and language world pictures have been considered. The comparative study of lexico-semantic groups of nouns denoting good and evil as fragments of English and Ukrainian language world pictures by means of the procedure of formalized lexical semantics’ analysis has given the possibility to single out their essential qualitative and quantitative characteristics, structural semantic peculiarities, reveal their differences and similarities within the national, cultural and individually-psychological language pictures of two different nations. The lexico-semantic groups of nouns denoting good and evil in modern English and Ukrainian are of complex and multicomponential structure. Both the order and organization of the lexical stock under study are hierarchical. The latter is divided into the following groups: lexical units with the highest, middle, low degrees of polysemy and monosemantic words. The biggest part of the lexis denoting good and evil in both languages under study is characterized by the words with the low degree of polysemy. The analysis made has shown that the lexical units denoting good and evil occupy an important place within the lexical systems of the English and Ukrainian, and they are regarded as philosophical concepts of the world perception being an integral part of the humanity and human nature. Therefore, they make up the broadest and leading paradigm of valuable moral orientation, knowing no boundaries of time and space and making the formula of our thinking and world perception.

O.V. Gosudarska Anthropocentrism as the guiding principle of recreating the world with human consciousness (based on translation of French somatic terms in Ukrainian)
Abstract. The author of the article reveals the basic principles to reproduce the information about the world with the human consciousness and its representation by means of linguistic signs. The main attention is concentrated on the close connection between languages and people which, since the second half of the twentieth century and up to date, is the starting point of most linguistic works. The study has cleared up that the somatic basis, although it is universal, isn’t manifested identically during the nomination of individual reality objects by different ethnic groups. This fact takes on special significance in the technical translation.
