Abstract. Based on data of parallel texts of the national corpus of the Russian language and lexicographic dictionaries, spatiality is considered as one of the conceptual dominants of the modern Russian language, which should be taken into account when teaching the language. The high use of spatial word forms indicates the peculiarity of Russian-language discourse, which can be defined as a consistent maximum explication of spatial relations contained in a real situation. Many conceptual categories in Russian language consciousness correlate with the category of spatiality, a kind of matrix that forms and reflects the world view. The state of the environment, the physiological and mental state of a person and other categories in the Russian language are conveyed by spatial patterns. Spatiality is expressed at all major linguistic levels: at the semantic, grammatical, vocabulary and word formation levels. The study uses systematic, comparative and functional methods that present the specific characteristics of the Russian language in the expression of spatiality both in the language system and in speech.
