This article undertakes a historico-semantic analysis of the key concept of Russian culture - the word “dushá” (soul) - through the lens of V.V. Vinogradov’s grammatical and lexicological doctrine. The study examines the interaction of concrete and abstract meanings within the semantic structure of the word, its phraseological productivity, and its role in the formation of syntactic units that reflect the national patterns of thought. The article traces the evolution of the semantic structure of the word “dushá,” identifies the principal vectors of its grammatical and phraseological functioning, and demonstrates how its history mirrors the general patterns governing the development of the Russian literary language.
