Author:  O. I. Bykova

The productivity of representation of conceptual fields with the help of euphemisms possessing moral and aesthetic evaluations determines the specifics of the national sphere of concepts.

Keywords:  euphemisation, conceptual derivation, secondary axiological conceptualisation and categorisation, national sphere of concepts
