Abstract
The work is devoted to the study of semantic content of negative emotional concepts of Boredom, Anguish, Sadness and Sorrow in the language consciousness of modern Russian youth. The theoretical basis is the doctrine of V.V. Kolesov (conceptology), the provisions of which determine the algorithm of the study. The research material is a survey of native speakers of the Russian language, based on the analysis of which adjectives and predicates are identified and classified, and the figurative concept and semantic constants of these concepts are obtained. Comparative analysis of the concept of the considered concepts in the modern Russian consciousness and their interpretation in the Dictionary of Russian mentality is also provided. The interpretations of the concepts under study in the Dictionary of Russian mentality and in the minds of native speakers differ in that the dictionary definitions reflect the conceptual content of the word, and the representation of these concepts in the minds of ordinary people has a more emotional and evaluative expressive color and is associated with the associative field.
