Summary/Abstract: The main attention is focused on the structural components of LIGHT with a consistent consideration of quantitative and qualitative characteristics, as well as constructions that verbalize the concept, different in part-speech and linear length. It has been established that Light can be a characteristic of ‘living reality’, sometimes it is associated with the existential experiences of the characters and is accompanied by religious allusions. As a property of reality (the world), light can come from the sky, water, architectural buildings, or constitute the nature of cities. The variety of lexemes used to denote the process of luminescence, the characteristics of light, serves to create a three-dimensional picture of the magical process. The most informative are constructions of 3, 4 or more components, which, with the help of comparisons or homogeneous constructions, allow the reader to more fully present what is happening in the text.
