The article considers the notion of concept as a multifaceted mental structure in modern linguistics. The problem of the relationship between language and thinking is one of the traditional and relevant problems of linguistics. As a result of the integration of cognitive and communicative directions in the late XX and early XXI centuries, it was possible to recognize linguistic phenomena from a new angle. In this context, the article comprehensively describes the formation of linguoconceptology, its theoretical and methodological foundations and the place of the concept in linguistic consciousness. The main goal of the study is to analyze the concept from the cognitive, semantic, linguocultural and pragmasemantic aspects and justify it as a multilayer mental structure. The article reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the concept at the intersection of philosophy, logic, psychology, semiotics and linguistics. The concept is interpreted as a mental unit that contains associative, evaluative and cultural information, broader than the meaning of the word, rather than equating it to the meaning. Scientific views on the relationship between the concept and the meaning of the word are systematized, their differences and similarities are revealed. It is argued that the concept is considered as an intermediary between the word and reality, and its content reflects the ethnocultural code of the nation. In this regard, the structural components of the concept – intelligibility, figurative and value layers-are analyzed using specific examples. The typology of concepts is widely considered in the study. In particular, the features of parametric and nonparametric, universal and specific, regulatory and non-regulatory concepts are disclosed. The recognition of parametric concepts by quantitative and qualitative criteria, and the manifestation of nonparametric concepts at the sensory and associative levels is proved on the basis of language data. The universal nature of universal concepts and the specifics of their acquisition of a national hue in each culture will also be specially analyzed in the article. At the same time, the communicative and expressive function of the concept is considered from a pragmatic point of view. The role of regulatory concepts in the formation of human behavior, social norms and value orientations is revealed and their relationship with cultural dominants is shown, and the place and function of non-regulatory concepts in linguistic consciousness is also not neglected. In this article, the notion of concept is recognized as the basic unit of the cognitive-semantic space and its linguistic, cultural and cognitive significance is proved. The results of the study contribute to the deepening of theoretical research in the field of linguoconceptology and the interpretation of the concept from a comprehensive point of view.
