Abstract: The process of conceptualization of the world is one of the promising directions in modern linguistics and its study objectifies a new understanding of words, linguo-cultural concepts. The identification of the specificity of the concept of nobility is of undoubted interest in the national consciousness of the British, age-old traditions and freedom, dignity and courage, the beauty and nobility of which determine the components of a truly English mentality. The material of the study is the English phrases, aphorisms and quotations selected by the method of continuous sampling from English phraseological dictionaries and dictionaries of quotations, which allow interpreting the studied concept. Appeal to the phraseological and aphoristic funds of the English language objectifies the reflection of the components of the concept in all kinds of texts of the English linguo-culture, except proverbs and sayings. Representation of the concept in the phraseological system of language determines its significance for English society and points to the duality of the notion of nobility.
