The material of the associative experiment, conducted with 50 recipients of different age groups, presents the results of reactions to the word-stimulus “war” in Russian, Azerbaijani and English. Our comparative analysis of the content of the presented concepts has shown that in different linguistic pictures of the world they are filled with various connotations.
