Abstract
The article deals with the cognitive aspects of lexical categories organization, differential properties of categorial elements are viewed as having a major role in the process of interpretation. The authors argue that the conceptual content and structure of lexical categories determine their interpretative potential. Conceptual links as set between the source area of interpretation and target area of interpretation are considered to be the cognitive basis of interpretative meanings formation realized in rational, axiological and emotive modes of interpretation.

Keywords:  linguistic interpretation, lexical categories, integral and differential categorial properties, conceptual derivation, source area of interpretation, target area of interpretation, modes of interpretation
