Keywords:
concept, verbalization, linguoculture, linguocultural studies, linguistic worldview.Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between the concept, verbalization and the linguocultural approach within the linguistic worldview. A concept is interpreted as a mental unit that accumulates knowledge, experience, evaluation and cultural memory; verbalization is understood as the linguistic expression of this mental content; and the linguocultural approach explains how language, values and culture interact in communication. The study shows that a concept cannot be reduced to the lexical meaning of a word, because it includes not only logical content but also imagery and value-based interpretation.
