Abstract:
The article states that cognitive linguistics, lexicography and discourse play an important role in determining
the qualification features of the concept conflict. The theoretical basis of the study are well-known definitions of conflict: it
is a contradiction that a person perceives as a significant problem that requires solution and causes activity to overcome
it; it is a state (or situation) of conflict between the parties (parties to the conflict) who have incompatible views, goals,
etc., due to which each of them acts against the other, uses linguistic and / or non-verbal means. The aim of the research
is to single out the qualification features of the concept conflict on the basis of Ukrainian-language, Russian-language
and English-language lexicographic discourse. The main qualifying features of the concept conflict on the material
of Ukrainian-language lexicographic discourse are: aggravation, clash, complication, contradiction, disagreement, dispute,
fight, incompatibility; on the material of Russian-language lexicographic discourse: ambivalence, boarding, clash, collision,
complication, confrontation, contradiction, debate, disagreement, discord, dispute, dump, fight, hitch, opposite, quarrel,
skirmish, squabble, strife, struggle; on the material of English-language lexicographic discourse: argument, disagreement,
fighting. Universal for the three analyzed lexicographic discourses qualification features of the concept conflict are
the following: aggravation, ambivalence, argument, boarding, clash, collision, complication, confrontation, contradiction,
debate, disagreement, discord, dispute, dump, fight, fighting, hitch, incompatibility, opposite, quarrel, skirmish, squabble,
strife, struggle.
