Abstract
The article deals with the problem of status of various types of meanings that emerge when describing the semantics of a word by psycholinguistic methods in the linguistic consciousness. It is shown that during the lexicographic fixation of psycholinguistic meanings revealed by the results of an associative experiment, there arises a problem of describing the reflections of meanings that in traditional systemic linguistics are referred to as agnonymic and taronymic. With regard to psycholinguistic meanings that reflect the actual linguistic consciousness of native speakers, there emerges the problem to determine the status of meanings revealed in the linguistic consciousness of native speakers that can theoretically be classified as false, that is, mistakenly understood by some native speakers. The large number of such meanings revealed in the experiment requires the answer to the question whether they should be included in the description of a word semantics in linguistic consciousness and qualified as false. The article shows that contaminated and receptive meanings revealed in the linguistic consciousness cannot be considered false but belong to the individual linguistic consciousness and as such should be tagged in the dictionary with the appropriate marks. Examples of different kinds of such meanings are supported.
