ENThe article aims to describe the part of the content of the Beast concept that is characteristic of the Lithuanian language world-view. The description of the concept’s content was based on the results of the experiment of free associations, the examples of the word beastly provided in the Corpus of Contemporary Lithuanian Language (donelaitis.vdu.lt), lexicographical material provided in the Lithuanian Language Information System (ekalba.lt). The theoretical basis of the study is the view of the concept as a unit of thought, information about which, in addition to non-linguistic material, is provided by an experiment of free associations, examples of the use of appropriate words, as well as non-free word combinations such as phraseology, comparisons, etc. Summarizing the results of the analysis of the language material, it is possible to describe some of the information related to the Beast concept of the Lithuanian language world-view, i.e. to describe how Lithuanian-speaking people understand what the beast is and what behaviour is typical of it. A beast is a wild animal whose natural habitat is forest. In most cases, large and powerful beasts are named among the associations, predators with higher positions in the dietary chain, although there are completely opposite individual responses when smaller animals/ pets are associated with beasts. The external characteristics of the beast mentioned in the answers also relate to the motive of force and power. Force and power are very strongly implicated in the examples of linguistic material, because the actions associated with the beast usually reflect the power-induced relationship between stronger and less strong.Among the most common combinations of the word beastly are mostly those referring to aggression of varying intensity towards another, the outcome of which is usually tragic. In other words, based on the logic of the language’s worldview, and the encounter with the beast would likely be as tragic. The physical strength of the beast correlates with its innate outrage and aggression. The results of the association experiment convey the emotions posed by the beast to the person, and the sense of fear, threat and danger dominate among them. Such emotions are also the result of appropriate human attitudes towards the beast, and there is an aspiration not to get along but to overcome a potential enemy. The results of the association experiment show that a person perceives himself in the food chain as taking a higher level than a beast, as the beast is seen as food. Analysis of the examples of language use has also revealed that the word beastly is used in situations that are usually unpleasant to the subject and should not take place in people’s lives, according to the propositions of language worldview. The information obtained from the analysis of the results of the free association experiment and samples of the use of the word beastly drawn from the Corpus of Contemporary Lithuanian Language is supplemented by analysis of the material of various dictionaries. Keywords: categorization, concept, free associations experiment, comparisons, prototypical situation. [From the publication]
