Abstract
To reveal the universal and specific aspects in the perception of reality by representatives of various linguocultural traditions, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the main cultural concepts found in linguistic materials. Our analysis is based on lexicographic sources. The purpose of our study is to identify the semantic, linguocultural, and associative components that comprise the semantic structure of the “Sugysh” (“War”) concept. The significance of cultural concepts is determined by frequency of their use. They are incorporated into phraseological units, proverbs, sayings, poetic, and song texts. As a socio-political phenomenon, this concept has a multifaceted definition in the Tatar language. It is studied by different sciences – history, political science, philosophy, sociology, etc. The theme of war holds a significant place in literature and art, reflecting the past and the present of the Tatar people. The article proves that the concept of “war” has a complex structure, consisting of different groups of features.
