Abstract. The concept is considered as a fact of culture and forms a system of human knowledge about the world, it allows us to reveal the most characteristic features of the Greek culture we are studying. The aim of this article is to identify the significance of the linguistic-cultural concept «Love of life» to understand the writer’s individual picture of the world. The objective of the study is to characterize the linguistic means that form one of the basic concepts of the Greek worldview based on the literary text, since the literary text shows author’s interpretations of key concepts that make up the national picture of the world. While studying this topic and analyzing the language units considered in the article, we were able to represent the relevance of the concept «Love of life» and related cultural factors to understand the author’s picture of the world, and this also allowed us to demonstrate the importance of linguistic and ethno-specific features in the study of the behavioral characteristics and Greek mentality. The article discusses the examples from the literary text «Zorba the Greek» by the Greek classic Nikos Kazantzakis and analyzes the linguistic means of expression. The content of this text is saturated with cultural, historical and geographical characteristics, which allowed us to consider it as a basis for studying the culture and mentality of Greece. In the direct study of textual material, empirical and theoretical research methods were used: analysis, synthesis, comparison, as well as component and contextual methods of study. The article underlines the influence of the concept on the linguistic personality formation, as we know the linguistic personality is a generalized image of the storage of cultural and linguistic values. The author’s linguistic personality is characterized by the specificity of his linguistic worldview and vocabulary.
