The linguistic view of the world (conceptual framework) forms both fundamentals of an individual’s linguistic mentality and national mentality. In this article, the problem of correlation between language and mind is covered from the point of view of linguoculturology – a direction of the Russian linguistics that between XX – XXI centuries, as well as linguodidactics, the main task of which is formation of an individual’s linguistic mentality in the context of humanization of the Russian education. The significance of the present research lies in the need to carry out a linguoculturological analysis of the conceptual field “spirituality”, as a reflection of the basic values of the Russian mentality, in order to identify the interrelation of language, culture and thinking. The main features of the Russian conceptual framework “spirituality” (being the object of the study) are distinguished and described in this article by means of linguoculturological description of mental units-concepts.
