COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE CONCEPT “ВОЛЯ”/ “SOUL”/ “ÂME” IN THE MODERN RUSSIAN, ENGLISH AND FRENCH LANGUAGES

This work is devoted to the comparative typological analysis of the concept «Воля» / «Soul» / «Âme» in the modern Russian, English, French languages. The various language tools that objectify this knowledge form a voluminous fragment of the linguistic picture of the world, which we designate as the “linguistic picture of the human inner world”. In recent years, one can see a growing interest of the linguists in studying the concepts of the human inner world that are represented in a particular national language. The relevance of this study is determined by the growing interest in linguistic science to the problems of human subjectivity and the structure of the mental, inner world, and secondly, the need for an in-depth study of the ways of expressing language concepts in a language in a progressive intercultural dialogue. The object of this study is the content and structure of the concept «Воля» / «Soul» / «Âme» representing a fragment of the picture of the human inner world, objectified in modern Russian, English and French. The subject of the study is the linguistic means and mechanisms for representing the concept of «Воля» / «Soul» / «Âme» in modern Russian, English, and French.
