Abstract
The article addresses the question whether the difference in attitude to lying in Russian and British culture is reflected in the vocabulary of Russian and English respectively. The analysis of the Russian and English verbs of lying brings one to the conclusion that the number of verbs under consideration is much larger in Russian than in English; their stylistic coloring is different as well (there are a lot of colloquial verbs in Russian in contrast to quite few in English). The subdivision of the verbs of lying into groups revealed differences in flling the subgroups of the same name in the Russian and English languages. Besides, it appeared that there is a group of English verbs, in particular verbs of lying for personal proft, missing in Russian.
