This article explores the role and function of concepts in linguistic and cultural analysis, with a focus on how concepts shape communication, social behavior, and cultural identity. It delves into the theoretical frameworks of linguocultural studies, particularly the typology and structure of concepts, and their role in the broader cultural and cognitive systems. By analyzing the work of scholars such as Yu.S. Stepanov and V.I. Karasik, the article emphasizes the dynamic nature of concepts, highlighting how they evolve in response to changing cultural and social contexts. It also examines how concepts function both discursively and non-discursively, influencing communication practices in various linguistic and cultural environments. The article argues that understanding the structure and function of concepts is essential for analyzing the intersection of language, culture, and cognition, and for understanding how cultural identity is constructed and communicated through language.
