description The paper discusses phraseological units that are used as euphemisms when describing bribery in the Russian and Arabic languages. The contextual use shows that the euphemistic meaning of the set phraseological expressions under study is justified. Their functional and pragmatic potential has been considered taking into account the national and cultural specifics. The linguistic and cultural analysis of these units has been performed: the cultural interpretation of their word components that acquire an appraisal value on the basis of associative symbols, models, and perception stereotypes that exist in the general world image of the two societies has been carried out. The analysis of the phraseological euphemisms in the Russian and Arabic languages has demonstrated that the spiritual and moral motives of human experience are reflected in the language and determine the ethical view and the phenomena of life. Idiomatic and stable expressions successfully function in the contexts with implicit information about negative, socially condemned, phenomena of reality. The semantics and pragmatics of the phraseological euphemisms is defined by both the linguistic and social and cultural background, all playing an important role in revaluating the phenomenon of bribery.
