This study attempts to analyze the phenomenon of polysemy correlates to the conceptual organization of cognitive categories, and the polysemantic structure is a category of a proto-typical nature. An invariant-component analysis of each of the figurative meanings and further comparing them with the semantics of the first nominative-nonderivative meaning are utilized to meet the study’s aims. The findings of the research of linguistic categorization of objects of reality with the identification of a set of central features, according to which a word is attributed to a particular category, leads to extrapolation of the research results to the structures of polysemantic words. The paper shows that both the members of the cognitive subject category and the figurative meanings of polysemantic are oriented toward the methods of conceptual and linguistic categorization of the real world, and both of them are turned “inward” in their own structure.
