The concept as a linguistic and semiotic way of representation of culture

Abstract

The paper deals with the concept as a productive linguistic and semiotic way of representation and interpretation of culture. Culture is considered as a set of concepts and relations between them. The concept is defined as key word of culture. The concepts form the spheres of concepts, which could be called as “the language picture of the world”. The language pictures of the world represent the culture values of every nation. The concept is relevant to the culture on the three levels: consciousness, culture and language.
