Summary/Abstract: The paper considers the semantic structure of the concept of light in the Russian medieval world view. The referential, conceptual, figurative, and symbolic meanings of the concept of light in the linguistic view of the world of that period are defined. The dynamics of the perception of this phenomenon in the linguistic consciousness of the medieval person is traced. Its value and historical meaning are specified. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the semantics of the noun light as the core unit of the semantic field of this concept. The main tendencies in the development of its meaning and derivational relationships are revealed. The ideological components of the world view determined by the medieval religious consciousness are taken into account. The functioning of the derivatives with the root свет- (“light”) found in the Tale of Bygone Years is analyzed.
