Abstract:
This article examines the concept of "concept" in the context of linguoculturology, with an emphasis on
its comprehensive analysis and the history of its study in the field of linguistics. The main objective of the work is
to present the concept as a key element of linguoculturology, which is achieved through the study of its historical
development, the analysis of the main research directions and the study of the structure of the concept. Methods
of conceptual analysis, various approaches to the classification of concepts and a detailed study of the conceptual
sphere are also considered. As a result of the analysis, it can be concluded that the concept is a multifaceted
mental formation, which leads to a variety of approaches to its interpretation. Being a link between the mental
sphere of a person, culture and history, the concept is perceived as a complex of formal and meaningful structure
with a clear logical organization and unique characteristics.
Keywords: -
Concept, conceptosphere, universal concepts, conceptual analysis, national concepts, concept
structure, concept classification.
Introduction:
The system of perception of the world,
which is formed by a person throughout his life, is
gradually filled with new knowledge, which are
combined into general concepts. This set includes
concepts, because in the course of their activities and
communication, a person thinks and acts within the
framework of a conceptual world that has certain
characteristics and attributes. The concept is the object
of research in various sciences, such as cognitive
linguistics, cultural studies, linguoculturology, political
science,
sociology,
and
ethnopsychology.
Linguoculturology studies the basic concepts that
collectively reflect the manifestations of culture in a
language and help analyze the interaction of language
and culture in the process of their development.
Currently, the concept is considered as one of the key
concepts in linguoculturology.
The history of the term "concept" in Russian science
originates from its borrowing from the field of
mathematical logic, in particular, from the works of G.
Frege and A. Church. The Latin word conceptus, derived
from the verb concipere, translates as "concept" or
"conception". Russian Russian usage of this term first
appeared in 1928 in an article by S. A. Askold
(pseudonym of S. A. Alekseev) called "The Word and
the concept", published in the journal "Russian
Speech", where the author focuses on the function of
substitution as a key property of concepts [1, p. 269].
This work marked the beginning of the conceptual and
cultural trend in modern science. Nevertheless, for a
long time this term has not found wide application in
Russian linguistics. It was only several decades later
that the "concept" began to be used in research by
representatives of cognitive linguistics, such as R. I.
Pavlenis and M. A. Kholodnaya, who focused on the
study of subsystems of human knowledge.
Since the early 1990s, the term "concept" has been
actively used in the linguistic literature, which became
popular thanks to the scientific works of D. S. Likhachev
and Yu.S. Stepanov. D. S. Likhachev highly appreciates
the innovative work of S. A. Askold, however, unlike
him, argues that the concept is not tied to the word as
a whole, but It refers to each individual basic meaning
of a word. He suggests considering the concept as an
algebraic expression of the meaning that we use in
communication. According to the scientist, sometimes

a person does not have time or is unable to fully express
the meaning, perceiving it in his own way, which
depends on social conditions and characteristics [2, p.
281]. Yu.S. Stepanov, in turn, defines the concept as a
cultural, mental and linguistic entity, which is a bundle
of culture in the mind a human being. He considers the
concept as a "bundle" of representations, concepts,
knowledge and images accompanying the word [3, p.
14]. According to the researcher, the concept is a
means by which culture is perceived mentally, and also
allows a person to interact with culture and sometimes
influence it [3, p. 43].
In the field of linguoculturology, considerable attention
is paid to concepts in the works of such researchers as
N. D. Arutyunova, Z. H. Bizheva, A. Vezhbitskaya, S. G.
Vorkachev, V. I. Karasik, V. A. Maslova, G. G. Slyshkin,
Yu. S. Stepanov, V. N. Teliy, G. V. Tokarev, R. M.
Frumkina and others. These scientists consider a
concept as a mental unit that is formed in an
individual's mind under the influence of various factors.
Despite the steady development of linguoculturology
as a scientific discipline, there is currently no single
definition of the term "linguocultural analysis". As E. I.
Zinovieva and E. E. Yurkov point out, this concept
encompasses various methodological approaches, such
as conceptual analysis, discourse analysis and methods
of working with dictionary entries, etc. [23, p. 101].
Based on these methods, scientists identify several
stages for studying a concept: analyzing the origin of a
term in order to identify its deep meaning; examining
dictionary data; identifying additional conceptual
characteristics through distributive analysis of word
combinations; researching its metaphorical use;
studying word-formation forms derived from the main
term; establishing links between the concept in the
conceptual sphere of language at the level of
paradigms; as well as the use of associative dictionaries
and / or conducting associative experiments to
determine the intended field of meanings of the
studied word-concept.
Thus, in the field of linguoculturology, language is one
of the key means through which fundamental concepts
are formed in human consciousness. The concept, in
turn, allows words to penetrate into the linguistic
picture of the world, interacting with other lexical
elements. It is a fundamental category in the scientific
description of linguistic perception of reality. Formed
on the basis of individual and cultural experience,
concepts become the spiritual heritage of society,
reflecting the results of knowledge of the surrounding
world and characterizing the linguistic picture and
national identity.
