This article is focusing on comparative componential analysis of anthropolexemes in Russian and English youth slang. Anthropolexeme is a primarily anthropocentrically oriented unit, characterizing or evaluating a person according to his physical characteristics, character’s, behavioral peculiarities, abilities and inclinations, social functions, etc. In the first part of the study, we would like to look at one of the largest group of anthropolexemes which consists of units with negative evaluative modalities (derogatives). Another group of anthropolexemes in the youth slang consists of lexical units with a positive meaning component (melioratives), which usually reflects the speaker’s personal, emotional attitude towards the subject. In the second part of the study, we would like to observe one of the widest slang anthropolexeme’s semantic fields GENDER. One can conclude that male gender and their type of worldview play the central role in Russian and English youth slang. A discourse with such a worldview is called androcentric. The semantic analysis of the units of this thematic group in Russian and English youth slang has shown a number of similarities, dominated by the general attitude (mostly superficial) to human personality. Asymmetry is observed among the derogatives and melioratives of the youth language; this asymmetry can be partially defined as axiological.
