Abstract

The article considers the issues of further development of the methodological base of comparative linguistic-conceptual studies, contrastive linguistics and lexicography. It describes and illustrates an integrated, comprehensive and holistic methodology of the lexical-conceptual-semantic analysis of one culturally significant fragment of the semantic space of English and Russian represented in this study by the cultural concept КУЛЬТУРНЫЙ ЧЕЛОВЕК / CULTURED PERSON. This analysis is presented in the form of a complete algorithm for the comparative study of the chosen national conceptual spheres (known in Russian Cultural Linguistics as conceptospheres). The algorithm includes a sequence of about 25 “steps” aimed to reveal step by step all the convergent and divergent characteristics of the lexical units that name the cultural concepts under study.
