CONCEPTUALISATION DES CATÉGORIES AXIOLOGIQUES DANS LA CONSCIENCE LINGUISTIQUE DES LOCUTEURS DE LANGUES-CULTURES FRANÇAISE/RUSSE

The article above represents the analysis of the axiological category “sin/грех” in modern French and Russian cultures. The analysis is made in the contrastive linguoculturology frame and is aimed at revealing and describing general and nationally-specified characteristics of deontological concept “sin/грех” in compared cultures. The choice of the analysis subject is not accidental: one of the global factors that determined the mentality of French and Russian people is Christianity; in the “deepest stress” situations human's behaviour often activate conscious or unconscious religious patterns (even with an irreligious person) towards the fate; every national language can indicate atemporal religion-motivated cultural taxons, which represent religiously-specified “real semiotics” of modern French and Russian cultures. The conceptualization of national and cultural views on morality and duty, as well as on their translation through generations in the form of deontic statements, judgments, recommendations etc., is one of the basic collective norms of people's behaviour and interaction in society. As a result the article reveals the contents of collective semantic presentations of the concept “sin/грех”, draws analogies between the notions “crime” as “conscious/unconscious act”, “mistake and following punishment”, “idea of repentance” etc. and determines distinctions between its interpretation by French and Russian language culture bearers.
