Abstract: 
The paper is dedicated to the research of basic identifiers within the category "Natural Objects Characteristic of Space" in modern English. These identifiers corresponding to the notion 'concepts' form a rather complicated microsystem outlining the boundaries and organizing the above mentioned category as a certain format of knowledge. The category in question being an intrinsic part of basic ontological category "Space" is an important fragment of the English language world picture.

Keywords:  concept, format of knowledge, identifier, subidentifier, cognitive model, spatial feature, perceptual feature
