The studying of the specific character of the word meaningreligious component is currently important area of modern social linguistics, psycholinguistics, interpersonal communication. We have made an attempt to describe verbalized part of an individual religious consciousness based on the material of own experimental observation, questionnaire with the application of semantic differential method. The questionnaire results according to the semantic differential method and empirical data are person-centered as the specificity of socio-psycholinguistic approach consists in a researcher’s examining language activity through an intermediary – recipient and assigning the task to see, hear and experience the word and its meaning from the point of another perceiving person’s view. The studying of religious word meaning identification with the application of socio-psycholinguistic methods, including the analyzing of verbalized part of religious consciousness, gives the opportunity to feature social, psychological and its other components and represents an extensive field for a researcher to study the specific character of the religious behavior of Muslims and Orthodox Christians living in Republic of Bashkiria.
