Summary/Abstract: The article presents a contrastive linguistic analysis of the linguistic-cognitive dominant of space in the Spanish, Russian and English languages based on J. Cortázar’s short story “Continuidad de los parques” (The Continuity of Parks) and its translations into Russian (made by V. Spasskaya, “Nepreryvnost Parkov”) and English (made by D. Page, “The Continuity of Parks”). The author considers the linguistic means for the description of space and the spatial position of a body and concludes that the division of space into one’s own space and alien space is clearer in the English linguistic mentalese than in the Spanish one, and is blurred in the Russian linguistic worldview.
