Abstract: 
A joint research project carried out by an interdisciplinary group of Russian and Swedish lin-guists, sociologists and educators-psychologists (the Swedish Institute grant), besides solving pragmatic tasks of finding out relative quantitative-qualitative specificity of national cognitive representations of values, first of all, had methodological goals. They were to check the efficiency of the linguistic methods developed in this study (and, thus, to prove the theoretical ideas that served the basis for it) of getting factual data that allow reconstructing and comparing of the corresponding areas of cognitive represen-tations.

Keywords:  cognitive, representation, value, graded standard, comparison, Russian, Swedish.
