Abstract

In the article the comparative analysis of the semantics of the lexemes which are included in the micro-field "The superlative degree of a man's beauty, his actions and phenomena" of the lexico-semantic field of the concept "beauty" as "quality" in the German and Russian languages is carried out. In the article the data of historical-etymological dictionaries are given with the purpose of revealing common and differential features in the semantics of the lexemes of the above-mentioned micro-field. In the German language these are the lexemes with the complex word-formation structure: wunderschon, engelschon, bildschon, and in the Russian language - прекрасный, красовитый (outdated). At the end of the article the hypothesis of the occurrence of complex adjectives wunderschon, engelschon, bildschon in the German language is presented.
