Nowadays, the study of concepts in language is one of the perspective directions in linguistics. The relevance of this theme is determined by enhanced development of linguocultural studies of the conceptual spheres of national culture of phraseological units. In a time of intensive cross-cultural relations we are witnessing the scene when every nation is open to the perception of other nation`s cultural experience and at the same time they are ready to share the products of their own culture. Such an appeal was called “interaction of culture” or “cross-cultural communication”. Recently, the humanity’s special attention is paid to the relationship of language and culture, language and national mentality, language and thinking. In almost all scientific spheres, researches of philosophy, sociology, culturology, linguoculturology the term “concept” is gaining popularity. Nowadays, despite widespread use, the term “concept” is devoid of one specific definition, and in each of these spheres it gives its own interpretation.

A wide range of examples which are presented in this article makes it possible to establish a fact of existence of common phraseological units, in the languages, that are the result of intercultural contacts and international cultural exchange. On the basis of the foregoing, the conclusions reached may be summarized as follows: not only the representatives of ethnic groups, but also each social group is characterized by specific particularities of mentality; the research found phraseological concepts that reflect and express mentality of modern Russian, English and Georgian languages, which are the product of the expansion of contemporary international contacts, mutual influence and close interaction of these languages and their cultures.
