Abstract
This article is devoted to the study of lexical units for expressing compliments in the speech of modern Russian and Chinese youth. The study reveals the dominant parts of speech in the lexical inventory and word-formation mechanisms in youth compliment slang. While building the compliment lexico-semantic group, typical cognitive-semantic models and a corresponding world view in youth speech communication have been revealed. Common and distinctive features in their lexico-semantic representations have also been specified.
