Abstract. In the article the multidimensional concept LAW is analyzed in terms of its conceptual component. The conceptual component of the basic concept of legal discourse in the process of its objectivation in the journal press reveals seven lexical-semantic variants. It is ascertained that the concept LAW during its legal objectivation is most fully considered in the explicative text structure (5-6 cognitive features), but it is less fully realized in the descriptive text type (2-3 cognitive features).
Key words and phrases: концепт, понятийная составляющая, юридический дискурс, лексико-семантический вариант, дескриптивный тип текста, экспликативный тип текста, concept, conceptual component, legal discourse, lexico-semantic variant, descriptive text type, explicative text type
