Abstract
The article deals with the problem of categorization of space by means of a verb. The attention is paid to the cognitive mechanisms of conceptualization and ca-tegorization of space, forming our basic concepts of space, and language mechanisms of their realization in a sentence. The categorization of a certain type of space is the result of the combination of cognitive and language mechanisms.
