. The article deals with the methodological research problems of Romano-Germanic philology as in the case of lexical-semantic explication of German and Russian nominations “husband”, “spouse” from the viewpoint of the comparative ethno-linguistic analysis. Comparative ethno-linguistic description of the lexical units in the article is carried out according to the methods of the ethno-semantic analysis, which makes it possible to correlate the word definition with the life of a certain group of people. The aim of the methodology is to find out the universal and specific national characteristics of the lexical units in the German and Russian worldview, mental schemes and ethno-mental world of the native speakers.


Introduction
Presently the general tendency of the educational process development is closely connected with the change in social attitudes in terms of making them wider, as well as broadening the stereotypes, social values, self-regulatory mechanisms, which are based on cultural, historical, social and psychological aspects of a community development as well as on the ethnic social preferences and regional peculiarities. The interdisciplinary approach to country social studies, when the linguists strive to find the answer how the word meaning is formed and conveyed [Balabanova, 2018;Guseva, 2012 , is suggested as the innovative way of teaching country civics at higher levels of education. It should be taken into account that "the meaning as a certain phenomenon is formed in the human mind as a result of reflection generalization of certain real objects, phenomena or attitudes to reality, which imply the real in general", besides the human language as a social phenomenon obviously bears the traits of spiritual and material culture of a certain nation".
In the article under discussion comparative ethno-linguistic description of the general and specific national characteristics of the nominations "husband", "spouse" in the German and Russian linguistic worldviewis provided. The description is based on the methods of the ethno-semantic analysis.

Results and Discussion
We are going to analyze the lexical-semantic explication of the nominations "husband", "spouse" in terms of the ethno-linguistic comparative analysis of the German and Russian languages.
To begin with, we are going to find out the historical origin and peculiar features of modern interpretation of the lexemes der Mann»,«der Ehemann», «der Ehepartner», «der Gatte».
In modern German the lexeme «der Mann» is used in the meaning of 'a spouse', 'a mature male adult', 'a disciple, follower', 'addressing to strangers in the form of exclamation, surprise, admiration. [Duden. Universalwörterbuch, 2011, S. 1154.
The noun «der Ehemann» -is a compound word, formed with the lexemes «die Ehe» and «der Mann». The etymology and common meaning of the words were described above. Therefore the lexeme «der Ehemann» in general language illustrates such meanings as: 'a married man', 'a man married to a woman' [Duden. Universalwörterbuch, 2011, S. 468].
While analyzing the lexeme «der Ehepartner», it is necessary to emphasize its structure, represented by the lexical units «die Ehe» and «der Partner».
The word «die Ehe» has been analyzed above within the etymological commentary and its contemporary functioning.
The nomination of «муж» (a husband) as the Old Russian word "лада" (lada)is considered to be quite mysterious.Here is the quotation from weeping Yaroslavna's appeal to the wind in the context of "Lay of Igor's Warfare": «чемумычешихиновьскыястрѣлкынасвоеюнетрудноюкрилцюнамоеяладывои?». The word still exits in the Russian language, it has been represented in the verbal folklore almost until today, always possessing the meaning of «a husband» -'an adorable beloved husband' (possibly wife), 'somebody beloved', as well as on the contrary -'an unloved spouse' [Trubachev, 2010,p. 147]. The Old Russian «лада» (lada) was mostly used with the «endearing and affectionate shade of meaning (therefore, the word has not been a term as such to define the concept)…» [Trubachev, 2010,p. 150].
In the Indo-European language another nomination of the man, based on the physical properties: «*vīro-s» -'strong' has developed.The definition of the man as the 'elder one, an adult', especially -'strong' was identified with the magic knowledge, which an ancient man could attach to such nominations, thinking that giving such a name to a man he assigned the relevant characteristics to him. Involvement of such nominations into the kinship terms occurred during the written period in the history of some ancient Indo-European languages, while the exact meaning of the nominations became obliterated in the course of time. [Trubachev, 2010, p. 157].
The modern use of the lexeme "муж" is represented in the definitions: 'a spouse', 'a man officially married to a woman', 'a mature man', 'a public figure working for the community' [Ushakov, 2014, v. 2, p. 274].
In the modern Russian language the lexeme «супруг» is defined as a: 'a man married to a woman', 'a husband and a wife (plural)' [Ushakov, 2014, v. 4, p. 595].

Discussion
To sum up, having reserached the lexemes«der Mann», «der Ehemann», «der Ehepartner», «der Gatte» and «муж», «супруг» from the viewpoint of the ethno-semantic analysis the following common and specific features in German and Russian should be mentioned. The results are provided in the table. Table 1. Comparative analysis of the national and specific charateristics of the lexical units «der Mann», «der Ehemann», «der Ehepartner», «der Gatte» and «муж», «супруг» in the German and Russian languages.

Conclusion
To draw a conclusion, the application of the ethno-linguistic approach to the description of the nominations "husband", "spouse" in german and Russian made it possible to prove: 1) ethno-semantics allows to provide not just a mere lexeme definition, but enables to analyse them within the social context in close connection with those who created and uses them; 2) a linguistic definition of a word receives some special sematic, emotional and stylistic connotations, which reflect some national peculiar features of thought expression; 3) while characterizing the nominations «муж», «супруг» in German and Russian with the help of the comparative ethno-linguistic analysis in both languages specific semantic representation of the lexemes is quite obvious; 4) the approach allows to improve the quality of country civics teaching at a tertiary education institution, enhances the in-depth learning of a country's ways and habits and the processes of its community development.
