The article examines the correlation between the terms concept and notion within the frameworks of cognitive onomasiology and linguocultural studies. Although these terms are frequently used interchangeably, their theoretical status varies significantly depending on disciplinary perspective. The study analyzes major interpretative approaches in Russian cognitive linguistics, linguocultural research, and philosophy of language, highlighting both convergences and divergences. Particular attention is paid to the role of conceptual structures in the process of nomination and to the distinction between logical abstraction and culturally marked mental representation. The findings demonstrate that while the notion traditionally refers to a logically structured cognitive abstraction, the concept functions as a broader category encompassing cognitive, cultural, evaluative, and symbolic dimensions. The article argues that integrating cognitive and linguocultural approaches enables a more comprehensive understanding of conceptual structures underlying linguistic nomination.
