The psychological studies show that a man stores information in his mind, in the form of cognitive-semantic models or schemes. The aim of the following paper is an attempt to systematize approaches and ideas concerning the information representation in language. This research will present the psychological findings which provided some new methods of a language description, then some of the notions (introduced by G. Fauconnier, Ch. Fillmore, J.-P. Desclés, M. Johnson, G. Lakoff, R. Langacker, J. Sowa, R. Schank and R. Abelson), which describe the semantic structure will be discussed. The authoress will try to demonstrate that this variability of theories and ideas refers in fact to one and the same problem, which is the conceptual record and representation of perceived reality, which actually takes the symbolic form anchored in language.
