CONCEPTUAL ANALYSIS AS A MODERN METHOD OF RESEARCH IN LINGUISTICS

Study of the works of different authors in the field of conceptual analysis shows that it is not a certain kind of method of concepts research. It would be more appropriate to suggest that the corresponding works are related by some relatively common goal, and as to the ways of achieving this goal if they appear to be extremely diverse. Basing on this we’ve set a goal ? to examine the opinions of all authors working on the very problem and express our own opinion about the exploratory problem. This article concerns the problem of conceptual analysis in modern linguistics; a thorough description of associative experiment is given as a method of language awareness. The subject of our research is conceptual analysis as one of the methods of linguistic research. The methods of the conceptual analysis depend on understanding and possibility of the concept structurization. In the study the conceptual analysis can be based on the analysis of experimental data [free and directed associative experiments, experiments for subjective definitions, experiments using scaling method], as well as on the lexicographical data analysis. These methods enable us to obtain abundant language material which is a set of cognitive features of the concept under study.
