The present paper investigates the perception of empirically imperceptible phenomenon, which is called FREEDOM. Relying on the use of words FREEDOM and CAPTIVITY in the republic press, we made an attempt to establish, as Lithuanians understand and in the language express by sensory organs inaccessible abstracts.
We pay primary attention to the description of the concept of FREEDOM. The concept of CAPTIVITY is not the theme of this investigation; it is investigated as supporting material for the base of the concept of FREEDOM.
Material for investigating of conceptualization of abstract is undertaken from the column of the republic press of the collector of texts (donelaitis.vdu.lt). Discussing the concept of FREEDOM, support is done not to entire paradigm of FREEDOM, but only to the invariant of a number of synonyms – FREEDOM. We are guided by this opinion on the fact that this lexeme automatically covers entire semantic field of FREEDOM, i.e. in the value of the abstract being investigated is accomodated the value of all synonyms of FREEDOM (will, independence, sovereignty).
FREEDOM in the Lithuanian language is understood by such conceptual metaphors as FREEDOM – THING, FREEDOM – GOODS, FREEDOM – CURRENCY, FREEDOM – ACCOMODATION, FREEDOM – SMELL, FREEDOM – TASTE, FREEDOM – LIQUID, FREEDOM – BURDEN, FREEDOM – PERSONALITY.
Most frequently it is characterized as ACCOMODATION, in which one is located not of his own free will.
