Abstract

The article deals with social, evaluative and ethical concepts in cognitive, discursive, psychosemantical and lingvo cultural dimensions. Semantic concertual field of BETRAYAL takes an important place in its diversified semantic categorization in different languages and cultures, in historical and etymological concept reconstruction, in setting its synonymous and antonymous, hyper-hyponymic and distributive relationships with such concepts as FIDELITY, VENGEANCE, TRUTH, LIE, HONOR, etc. The author examines the epistemological, philosophical, ideological and religious principles of BETRAYAL in different linguocultural segments and its conceptualization due to the military conflict in eastern Ukraine, conflict and dialogue of languages and cultures reflected in social media and various genres of Internet communication (compare the view of opposition press on betrayal and traitors). This article determines linguoaxiological aspect of BETRAYAL from the standpoint of its functioning in the system of Christian values and in view of prescriptive, normative and stereotypical foundations. The attention is paid to the possibility of categorization of BETRAYAL in literary texts, political and ideological communication, Bible texts and Folklore (zoomorphic, fitomorfic, betrayal artefact code), in etnostereotype and invective attributes (collective, individual and imaginative nicknames and insulting nicknames, especially politonyms). It is worth examening this concept by using modern techniques of computer lexicography and data corps of English, German and Ukrainian.
