The article raises the question of whether the emergence of national languages is based on three key factors: nature or the climatic conditions in which a given ethnic group lived, as well as culture and knowledge. In this context, the interrelation and interdependence between linguistic and conceptual worldviews are examined. The linguistic picture of the world is the image of reality in the consciousness of a given ethnic group, which is reflected through language, individual episodes of which still preserve people’s experiential ideas about the creation of the world. The conceptual picture of the world is constantly changing, reflecting the results of people’s cognitive and social activities. The article attempts to answer to answer the question of how the linguistic picture of the world is formed in people’s consciousness. The word is considered in its dual nature, which, depending on the historical course of a given language, the national and cultural peculiarities of depicting the world, its conceptual core and linguistic meaning, differs from language to language. Various contents are embedded in the concept: conceptual, verbal, emotional, cultural, etc. This is the reason why languages “mean” different words for the same concept, so the interlingual combination of concepts contributes to the emergence of national and international components in the content of the conceptual system of different nations. “Seeing” and “naming” the world are in the domain of interconditioning the intellectual and the spiritual. For these theoretical observations, words denoting time in old forms of Armenian, Russian, English, German and French languages were considered.
