The author discusses theoretical issues of functional semantics,especially such directions of the contemporary anthropological linguistics asethnosemantics and cognitive semantics. The diversification of the content ofa lexical meaning under the influence of external, mainly pragmatic and cultural,factors is the primary object of interest here. Therefore, the author considers thedegree of semantic specification of lexical units at various levels of interpersonalcommunication: both general and subcultural. As assumed by the contemporarycultural linguistics, a concept is considered to be a category of representationof knowledge encoded in language signs. The author gives arguments in favourof the view that the opposition of the (lexical, general) meaning and concept isgradual and concerns the scope of semantic information encoded in the sign inaccordance with adaptive requirements.
