The article analyses the knowledge structures that serve as specific mental guidelines for the secondary conceptualization and categorization of objects and events of the surrounding and internal human world. Drawing evidence from empirical data, the author sets forth the interpretative status and anthropocentric nature of semantics of language units used in these cognitive processes.
