The core layer of the concept is the language of schemes, images, tactile and olfactory imprints of the reality which codifies the concept for intellectual operations. This core part has national and cultural background. With the lapse of time the concept undergoes changes due to the changing worldview. The best access to the concepts, their better understanding and “transmission” are granted via verbalization, i.e., through the language.

From the communicative point of view the concept is a cognitive model according to which the speaker uses a certain language unit in one or another way. The core of the concept has been named “the conceptual focus”. It includes the most stable central substantive components which are universal for the specific language community. Along with images, emotional and sensational constituents these cover the main essence of the concept content.
