The reliability of the results is ensured with a considerable amount of speech material (more than 300 utterances). The particular attention is given to evaluative contexts, the analysis of which resulted in reconstruction of the value aspect of the speaker's worldview. It was established that in the informant's speech both universal and specific characteristics of the concepts "Laughter" and "Crying" are manifested. As universal characteristics, the relationship of the emotive and perceptual components in the structure of the studied concepts is determined, the prevalence of negative emotions over positive nominations, the inclusion of these concepts in virtue oppositions (i.e. "us" – "them") is established.
