Abstract


It is demonstrated in the article that the research of archetypes of man and nature unity is possible within ecolinguistics that applies the method of a positive discourse analysis in search of harmonious stories-we-live-by, based on the unconscious. Archetypic realizations are traced in paroemias. The analysis based on the English and Russian languages reveals the reflection of such ecological archetypes as the archetype of home, archetype of belonging to clan, archetype of the universal law, archetypes of manhood and womanhood.
