Abstract
This paper is devoted to lexical nomination means of ethnic communities in Present-day English. Attention is focused on some onomastic parameters of ethnonims, being expressed as by lexical units so by figurative metaphoric and metonymic presentational stereotypes about foreigners in the British society. The author examines linguistic means of xenophobia and political correctness influence on official and nonofficial functioning of ethnonomination in modern English-speaking environment. The result proved the problem of national peculiarities of English-speaking world-view that defines the specificity of the communicative interaction of the English with “alien” ethnos. It is postulated the idea that the communicative interaction of the English with foreigners has been identified, from one side, with stereotyped (biased or tolerant) relationship to others, from the other side – correspondence with the principle of political correctness and peaceful coexistence of different nations.
