Abstract:
The purpose of the article is to find out which conceptual features of the concept LABOR are ac-tualized in modern aphorisms about labor. The subject matter of the paper is modern aphorisms based on precedent texts. As a result of the research the author has come up to a conclusion that in modern culture labor is connected with such features as «destruction», «humiliation» and finally «loss of human face» and «stupidity». An employee becomes a slave of the employer, authorities (rules) or work. Con-ceptual features are revealed in inner word form, ethnocultural presuppositions, stereotypes, etc.
Keywords: concept, conceptual feature, inner word form.
