In the present article paremiae are considered as linguistic means representing linguistic and individual worldview of a translingual writer. Ethnospecific representation reflected in paremiae as well as evaluative characteristics are identified. Such approach enables to interpret the cultural background which stands behind a paroemia and a translingual literary text in general.

Keywords: paroemia, translingual writers, Chinese American authors.
