The article discusses the axiological components of the semantics of Polynesian
ethnic paroemias. Shared axiology of the Polynesian cultures was postulated, due to the common
origin and early history of Polynesian peoples. Deep axiology determines the patterns of typological
similarity of the Polynesian paroemia semantics. The cultural and historical factors in the evolution of Polynesian paroemiological funds were determined; axiological principles were established, expressed in the semantics and actual meanings of the paroemias, as well as in the constitutive images
andthe inner form of Polynesian proverbs and sayings. The research methodology was based on linguo-axiological analysis. The material included 475 proverbs and sayings from Polynesian languages:
Maori, Tongan and Samoan.
