The present work studies ethnic stereotypes from the cognitive linguistic perspective. An ethnic stereotype is seen as an ICM comprising a cluster of metonymic submodels (e.g. cusine, body, name). Each submodel may trigger the formation of an attributive ethnonym, which ascribes an attribute to the target group. Such terms are usually derogatory.
