Popis: The given article deals with the investigation of the peculiarities of verbalization of the concept HAIR in English artistic prose of the XIX-XX centuries. Main trends in the concept study in modern linguistics are being viewed in the article; structural, semantic, gender and quantitative peculiarities of the nominative units verbalizing the concept HAIR in the English speech are being analyzed. According to somatic classification, three lexical-semantic groups verbalizing concept HAIR in the English language have been singled out, namely: "head hair", "facial hair" and "body hair". Most nominative units are used in portrait descriptions of characters. Such conceptual features as beauty and protective function of hair are foregrounded in the analyzed texts.
