Abstract: 
Based on the data of the National Corpus of the Russian language, the work examines the cognitive mechanisms of the speech implementation of the concept “chelovek” (“person”) in the Russian language picture of the world. Based on the analysis of the compatibility features of the lexeme human, the main models of its conceptual metaphorization by the type of reification and / or assimilation to objects of the animal and plant world are revealed.
