Özet:

The purpose of the research is to offer a methodology for a multifaceted analysis of object-denoting concepts, which takes cognizance of their linguo-cognitive identity. The scientific novelty lies in the author’s algorithm of reconstructing an object-denoting concept. This algorithm consists of a series of analyses of metaphorized linguistic units with various degrees of structural complexity – phraseologisms and lexemes. The resulting methodology suggests several stages – the first is an analysis of types of verbal representation of a concept; this is followed by a cognitive and semantic analysis aimed at reconstructing the prototype of the concept; the final stage focuses on exploring metaphoricity of the linguistic material with the intention of describing the metaphorical potential of the concept. The article substantiates a rather universal nature of this methodology, which can be used to study object-denoting concepts making up fragments of worldviews specific to speakers of different languages.
