Abstract
In recent decades, one of the most important areas of linguistics has been the study on depiction of a complete picture of the world in the mind of a person which is fixed by the language. To solve this problem, it is important to find out the relation between ethnicity and conceptual and linguistic picture of the world. The article suggested the definition of mentality, which is understood as a worldview in the categories and forms of the native language, combines the intellectual, spiritual and volitional qualities of national character typical of its manifestations; it describes the concept as a unit of mental activity, the quantum of structured knowledge. Solving the problem of the relation of conceptual and language pictures of the world, scientists have come to the conclusion that the language picture of the world is preceded by conceptual and forms it, because a person is able to understand the world and oneself through a language. At the same time, a conceptual picture of the world is much richer than the language one. The same language and the same socio-historical experience form similar language picture of the world within the members of a particular society. That allows us to speak about a generalized ethnic language picture of the world. Different languages give the pictures of the world only some specific, some ethnic flavor, due to the cultural and climatic conditions of life, ethnic significance of objects, phenomena, processes, selective attitude toward them, which is generated by the specificity of activity, lifestyle and culture of the people.
