Abstract
The article provides an analytical description of the widely used in philosophical science term “imagination”, which for the first time is examined from the linguo-cognitive and linguistic viewpoints. The paper compares the most frequent philosophical definitions of imagination with a view to systemize the key cognitive components of this concept, to identify the interpretations inadequate in the meaningful and verbal aspects and to correct them. Relying on the findings, the authors offer their own definition of the term “imagination”, which can be used in lexicographical practice.
