cognition, and society by employing a multidimensional approach.
It combines free associative experiments and sociolinguistic
analysis to offer a nuanced perspective on concept configuration.
By focusing on the intersection of sociolinguistics and
psycholinguistics, the research explores how sociocultural factors
influence the way individuals associate concepts, exemplified
through the study of “Altruism” in English native speakers. The
findings underscore the significant impact of variables like age and
gender on the concept configuration, revealing the fact that social
variables shape linguistic consciousness. This integration of
methodologies provides a comprehensive understanding of the
concept configuration, emphasizing the need for a
multidimensional approach in the study of language intricacies. In
summary, this article highlights the importance of merging free
associative experiments and sociolinguistic analysis to unravel the
influence of social factors on concept associations. It contributes
valuable insights into the dynamic nature of language, cognition,
and society while emphasizing the relevance of age and gender
variables in such investigations. This research lays a foundation for
further exploration in the fields of sociolinguistics and
psycholinguistics.

Ideals and principles of perception, activities, values, and spiritual orientation are variable in time. The regulators we need to perform in the universe are historically preconditionedthey imply a constant change of the world view and its subjects, they give impetus to values, hierarchy and thinking paradigms. The research of the linguistic consciousness is implemented by applying the method of the free associative experiment aimed at revealing informants' (English and Georgian speakers) associates-reactions to certain stimuli. The frequency ratios of reactions have been defined and the specifics of the core-periphery relationship has been identified in the associative fields. The procedure of the free associative experiment revealed: a. the similarities and differences between the linguistic world view depicted in the dictionaries; b. the specifics of the perception of certain concepts by modern native speakers; c. the character of the transformation of the linguistic world view according to the new extra linguistic realities. The comparison of the lexical-semantic and associative fields has been made. The mentioned entities have been constructed by applying the principle of significance. According to the mentioned principle, each element of the field has been included in the system due to its meaning and significance determined on the basis of the system as a whole.

These demands are intricately tied to the efficient utilization of knowledge and the continuous pursuit of enhancing the methods for processing information. Hence, the relevance of this research is derived from the active manifestation of the need to provide students with the skills required for compressing information. The significance of this research stems from the tangible demonstration of the imperative to equip students with the essential aptitude for information compression. The primary aim of this study is to discern the distinct features pertaining to various principles employed in the compression of information. The primary analytical approach employed in this research is comparative and content analyses. The research predominantly relies on the inductive method of analysis, wherein the investigation progresses from specific linguistic observations towards discerning systematic relationships among them. Within the frame of the research, the qualitative survey conducted in 2022-23 at the university of Georgia involved a sample of 50 text constructors (undergraduate and graduate students studying English Philology). The survey encompassed one embedded unit, ensuring gender balance, and the respondents were selected using a randomizing principle. The research material, comprising scientific articles, was provided in English. Upon analyzing the collected data, certain regularities emerged: 1. Abstracts generated by different individuals exhibit subjectivity. 2. The subjectivity of the abstracts generated by individuals is influenced by the gender of the text constructors. The research findings have substantiated the significance of redundancy when examining the phenomenon of text compression.

The study of kinship systems has always been one of the central topics in anthropology. The fact that in most societies' kinship is one of the most important social institutions, determines the significance of the research topic. From the perspective of the anthropocentric paradigm a man perceives the universe, in other words, a man creates anthropocentric center in his consciousness which determines his spiritual essence, intentions of his actions and hierarchy of values. The regulators we need to perform in the universe are historically preconditionedthey are variable in time. The shifts in the world view and its subjects give impetus to values, hierarchy and thinking paradigms. Detection of the shifts in the associative continuum of the concept provides an opportunity to observe the dynamics of linguistic consciousness, more precisely, to observe the changes in the ideals, principles of perception, values, and spiritual orientation of the linguo-cultural community. The research of the associative continuum of the concept of "family" has been implemented by applying the method of constructing the associative field on the basis of the analysis of the results of the free associative experiment aimed at revealing respondents' (English native speakers) reactions to the stimulus "family".

The research of the associative dimension of the concepts is implemented by applying the method of the free associative experiment aimed at revealing informants' (English and Georgian speakers) associates-reactions to certain stimuli). The frequency ratios of reactions have been defined and the specifics of the core-periphery relationship has been identified in the associative fields. The analysis of the material of the free associative experiment revealed that the concepts of "family", "freedom" and "life" perceived and interpreted by the respondents have been manifested in the cause-effect, temporal, and spatial relations. The comparison of the lexical-semantic and associative fields has been made. The mentioned entities have been constructed by applying the principle of significance. According to the mentioned principle, each element of the field has been included in the system due to its meaning and significance determined on the basis of the system as a whole.

Concerns about the relationship between inflammatory hate speech and violent acts have grown as a result of the rising number of attacks against people of different national, ethnic and religious affiliations, cultures, orientations and beliefs. The fact that the language of social media is characterized by tendencies to disguise the truth, reveal half-truths and ambiguous expressions and influence public opinion makes us realize that people especially public figures spare no effort to find effective terminology or phraseology in order to cast a shadow, ridicule or humiliate the opposing side through linguistic means. Therefore, the analysis of such linguistic peculiarities of social media gain a great importance in order to avoid the use of irrelevant terminology aiming at insulting and humiliation people.
