The article presents the results of the research done in line with the semantic-cognitive direction of cognitive linguistics. The aim of the research is the description of the Russian language means verbalizing the concepts “man” and “woman”. The research focuses on the concept structure and content in the Russian national consciousness. They are described by methods of linguo-cognitive language analysis. The methods and results of the research can be used for linguo-cognitive analyses of other Russian concepts. The research is based on the directional association experiment data which were processed by the cognitive interpretation method. The obtained cognitive criterions were classified to macro-structural components of the concepts - image component, encyclopedic content and interpretative area. The present article is devoted to comparative analysis of image components of the concepts “man” and “woman”. The analysis has shown that perceptual visual cognitive criterions dominate in image macro-components of the contrastive concepts under study. It also enables to find out that there are many integrative image criterions in their structure and to expose specific (differential) image criterions for each of them.
