Abstract. The article is devoted to the description of the abstract name feeling in the Russian language consciousness against the background of contemporary media texts. The research aims to present the abstract name feeling as a concept name in the Russian language consciousness based on the identified cognitive content, which is found in the semantic structure of the analyzed unit. The abstract name feeling is considered as a unit of language, culture, and language consciousness. The analysis of data presented in encyclopedic, explanatory, etymological, and associative dictionaries of the Russian language resulted in identification of basic cognitive categories, which constitute semantic essence of abstract name feeling and form the structure of concept name in the Russian language consciousness. The associative field, which includes the nucleus, centre, and periphery, has been reconstructed, the metaphorical models of the concept name under study have been identified. Cognitive categories and metaphorical models of the concept name feeling representation are shown to reflect basic binary oppositions in the Russian language consciousness, including the spatial, ontological, quantitative, dynamic, qualitative, thermal ones. Contrasting the results of cognitive and linguoculturological modelling of the concept name feeling with its explication in modern Russian media texts has demonstrated lower content intensity of textual representations of the content name under study. The paper shows that the integration of linguocultural science, cognitive science and psycholinguistics based on the interrelation between the language, culture, cognition (mentality of the speaker), and communication contributes to the formation of a unified theoretical and methodological basis for an independent scientific paradigm, i.e. cognitive linguocultural science.
Key words: feeling, model, media text, abstract name, language consciousness.
