Summary/Abstract: There are many aspects of the definition of the nature of time in language but in identifying and classifying the characteristics of the object category, some of the semantic models prove useful. They result from indirect language patterns used to interpret the concept of ‘time’. These models are manifestations of this concept by polysemy lexemes, which reveal aspecific image of time when transferring anotion; it is an expression of the connection between the past, present and future; motivation of notions of time periods by varied agricultural and other works; representation of axiological characteristics.
