Abstract

The paper goes on analysis of the cultural concept issue that is widely investigated in Russian cognitive linguistics. It is attempted to depict briefly the most outstanding research trends that envisage culture concept as a mental formation in terms of language units in Russian philological science in the light of philosophy. The survey of concepts of culture investigated in Russian linguistics illustrates that abovementioned cognitive units act as multidimensional mental complexes and reflect the perception of ethnocultural heritage as well as specifics of peoples’ mentality. Examples of phraseological units that verbalize concepts of culture reviewed by the author prove that by the means of paroemias nominating various concepts of spiritual, material and social culture, there is a possibility to distinguish differences and similarities of the nations’ mentalities.
