The proposed attempt of linguistic reconstruction of the concept VICTIMS OF PERSECUTION of the cognitive terminological structure REFUGEE, which is verbalized by the term victim of persecution and functions in legal discourse, demonstrated that the cognitive terminological structure victim of persecution to denote an actual acute social phenomenon, presented in modern Ukrainian as a combination of professional / scientific and everyday ideas about a person who suffers from other people and / or adverse circumstances, can be defined as «a person who is abused and who is suffered from harassment and oppression». The ability to formulate terminological meanings based on the analysis of dictionary definitions, taking into account symbolic meanings concentrated around each unit and the whole text in which this lexeme operates, as well as analyzing the contextual surrounding by involving the corpus approach, confirmed the need for linguistic reconstruction of concepts and cognitive terminological structures for interpretation terms within special discourses.
