Abstract:

It is a common fact that speakers of different languages and cultures perceive the same realities of their surroundings in different ways. This is because each nation has its unique national reality, which has formed over a long period in particular historical and natural conditions. The unique and specific features of a nation’s mentality are expressed in the language, in particular — in the concepts of this language.

This article aims to show the specifics of such concepts as [BODY], [SOUL], [SPIRIT] in the Russian language worldview.
