V. Pimenova. The article presents the analysis and description of the the means of expression of metaphorical reinterpretation of the concept PARTNERWAHL / PARTNER CHOICE in modern German language. Among them have been determined the lexical and the syntactical means. Due to its metaphotical reinterpretation concept PARTNERWAHL / PARTNER CHOICE is likened to a living being (LEBEWESEN), whom we can meet etc.; to an object (GEGENSTAND), which can be light, difficult. The concept PARTNERWAHL / PARTNER CHOICE is also associated with such concepts as LIEBE (LOVE), NUTZEN (BENEFIT), BUDGETPLANUNG (BUDGET PLANNING), RISIKO (RISK), GEFAHR (DANGER), which assure the associative-figurative component of the concept under study.
