Abstract:  The family can be studied as an ethnic phenomenon, as a constant interaction of family members inevitably affected by ethnic norms and behavioral patterns. The purpose of the article was to determine the ethnic and cultural features in the concept of family life in the Western European, Russian and Kazakh mentality. Wishes are a part of the ritual traditions that contain inclusions of folklore components and rep-resent a modern holiday discourse. The article demonstrates a cross-cultural analysis supplemented by component and contextual methods as well as the comparison of grammatical structures that realize similar semantic content. The analysis was carried out on the material of English and French texts of wishes (as an example of Western European world view), Kazakh wishes, Russian wedding wishes. Presentation of early family life as a new way turns out universal. Together with it, understanding of family life in terms of the way gives the same epistemic characteristics to stereotypical ideas about the family which the concept WAY has in the corresponding culture. In English and French world views family life is an exciting adventure of the two partners where they feel comfortable and interested. In the Russian mentality family life is a tough road of two opposing personalities. In Kazakh culture family life is a continuation of a long journey of each of a newly wedded couple. Epistemic features of the region-source create conditions for the formation of ethnic and cultural characteristics of the region-target. Conceptual region of a WAY is inextricably linked with the landscape in which the ethnic group is formed and develops. Analogies of conceptual regions of a “path” and “family life” show that WAY is a metaphorical scene in which family life is discovered.

Keywords:  ethnos, cognitive metaphor, ethnic linguistic consciousness, concept FAMILY, concept WAY
