Abstract
Aim. To conduct theoretical and practical research of song discourse in the social-cultural aspect based on the material of English, German and Russian languages.

Results. Song discourse, using the example of its three genres – pop, rap and rock – is analyzed from a socio-cultural point of view as the interaction of society and language. The ideographically marked lexemes are identified, representing different parts of speech, the use of which in musical texts reflects the basic values, emotions and stereotypes of representatives of English, German and Russian language cultures.
Research implications. The work present the analysis of song discourse in the socio-cultural aspect from the point of view of an ideographic approach to the systematization of lexicon units as an object of song discourse functioning based on the material of English, German and Russian languages. The results of the research make a definite contribution to such areas of linguistic research as discourse study, the theory of nomination, the study of the relationship between language and ethnicity, thinking and language, culture and language. The practical significance of the research is due to the possibility of using the material and results of the work in the teaching of various language disciplines such as practical courses in English, German and Russian, general and comparative lexicology, stylistics, as well as in translation activities.
