Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the specifics of the semantics of linguistic units at different levels of the language system, in which there are connotative semes that carry information about the culture of the people. It is established that by studying these schemes, we gain access not only to knowledge about the culture of the people, but also to the system of its values. It is stated that in the semantics of stable expressions of the English language - idioms, information about the cultural values of the British people is stored, analyzing which, we form a cultural background and understand more deeply how the British evaluate certain objects, events or phenomena of the real world that make up the linguistic picture of the British world.
