Abstract: This article is an analysis of the peculiarities of the linguistic embodiment of the concept of FORGIVENESS in the context of Russian and Avar linguistic cultures based on the material of religious texts and paremias. The analysis is based on a comprehensive methodological approach that includes linguistic and cultural methods of analysis. The linguistic embodiment of the concept manifests itself in a wide range of linguistic means - from words and expressions to proverbs and catch phrases. The specificity of the concept of FORGIVENESS is manifested in a parallel explication of both the reality of the religious picture of the world and the everyday one. The similarities in the representation of the conceptual signs of forgiveness in the compared languages are characteristic of the conceptual component of the concept, the differences are determined by the interpretative and meaningful spheres. The communicative situation of forgiveness is closely related to another situation of repentance, apology. The objects of the situation of forgiveness can be sin, harm, offense, debt. The concept of FORGIVENESS in both linguistic cultures has a purely positive connotation. And it is regarded as something without which life is impossible, meaningless. Forgiveness brings relief both to the one who receives forgiveness and to the one who gives forgiveness. The study showed that the concept of FORGIVENESS penetrates into all spheres of people's lives and makes them seriously think about their attitude to understanding the most important spiritual components of human life. The consideration of concrete examples of the linguistic use of these concepts in speech shows their versatility and high importance in the Russian and Avar linguistic cultures.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the problem of representation of the value component of the concept "Faith/Unbelief" in religious and paremiological discourses of different structural languages. The main purpose of the study is to establish similarities and differences in the linguistic objectification of spiritual values/anti–values in the Avar and Russian linguistic cultures based on the concept of "Faith/Disbelief", which is one of the basic concepts affecting all the value-behavioral spheres of human existence. In the religious consciousness of a believer (whether he is a Christian or a Muslim), by its very nature, there is a craving for virtue, a desire to ennoble morals, comprehension and nomination of all this occurs through specific linguistic signs and their meanings. The conceptual, value and figurative components of the concept under study are considered. The actualization in lexical systems of various languages, lexemes with religious (Islamic) meaning, the large-scale activity of texts of this subject in various genres, especially in mass media texts, put forward new promising directions of interdisciplinary research for linguists. The novelty of the research consists both in the development of research in the aspect of comparative theolinguistics for the first time on the material of these languages, and in the integral use of linguoconceptual and theoconceptual methods.
The article traces the close connection of cognitive features of the conceptual field under study and spiritual and moral concepts that have their own specifics in each of the compared languages during linguistic verbalization.
