Abstract. This article discusses the key views on the concept of «concept» from the point of view of basic linguistic disciplines, including both linguistics itself and the sciences that combine it with cultural studies, psychology, philosophy and, in fact, conceptology. Particular attention is paid to the description of the concept of «conceptual space» introduced by D.S. Likhachev. This study also attempts to analyze the relationship of the latter with the main structural components of the cognitive system: «mental space» and «frame». The main purpose of this work is to analyze the existing interpretations of the concept. In this regard, it is necessary to pay special attention to: the interdisciplinarity of the concept «concept» (many scientific fields are mixed in cognitive science, including sociology, cultural studies, history, linguistics, psychology, etc.); the number of scientific approaches to the study of the concept and conceptual space, sometimes contradicting each other; uncertainty in the subjects of study of the concept and conceptual space (varies depending on the opinion of specific scientists).

This article compares the concepts of «frame» and «conceptual space», which led to the conclusion that the «frame» is much wider than the «conceptual space», since it is mainly represented not by two, but by several concepts.

As a result of the study, we obtain a significant range of variability of the concept concept, which allows us to conclude that there are as many varieties of the concept concept in the world as there are scientists representing it, which means that further study of all the concepts and phenomena of cognitive science is a prerequisite for the further development of this science.

Keywords: concept; concept sphere; conceptual space; linguistic picture of the world; frame; mental space; interdisciplinarity
