The article analyzes the linguistic views of leading Ukrainian and foreign linguists on the integrable nature of the language, the problems of the national identity of language in the frames of ethnolinguistics, linguoculturology, psycholinguistics, the relationship between the concepts "language – thinking" and "language – culture". The evolution of the interpretation of the linguistic and conceptual pictures of the world as one of the main concepts in modern studies devoted to the interrelation between language and culture and the national specifics of the language has been given. The linguistics in the middle of the 20th century has set itself the task of not only proving, but also exploring the close relationship of language and thought. In our time, ethnolinguistics, linguoculturology, psycholinguistics and other modern linguistic directions are exploring such a connection, the main problems of which are the relationship of language and culture, the study of the people's mentality, the picture of the world, intercultural communication, the description of the organization of a mental vocabulary, the study of a linguistic personality. One of the main concepts in modern studies on the relationship between language and culture and the national specifics of language is the concept of linguistic and conceptual pictures of the world.
