This article describes the “Fish” concept in the Kildin Saami language. We assume that such an endangered Finno-Ugric language as the Kildin Saami has a specific anthropocentric level. The material is analyzed with the use of the “Nature − Human” contrastive system. We demonstrate the importance of prelogical concepts associated with primordial ideas about a human being as part of nature expressed in the Saami languages and culture. The analysis shows that the separation of meaning and a single word presentation in the Kildin Sami language is directly related to the importance of a given object, feature or action for the practical activity. The specificity of the “Fish” concept in the Kildin Saami language in this respect is associated with the relation between the ethnic group and nature. The analytical material points to the following opposition types: equipollent, privative (binary) or gradual. The analysis of oppositions found in the “Fish” conceptual field reveals the presence of lacunas and differential characteristics.
