Abstract
The study is set out to prove the expediency of incorporation of the notion concept-symbol into the linguopoetics terminology. The analysis of Blok’s poem «Comet» confirms a substantial heuristic potential of the concept-symbol. The applied etymological, lexical, field, contextual and conceptual analyses proved the ability of the concept-symbol to form a conceptual domain obtaining text-forming potential and correlating with the idea of a work of art. The concept-symbol is deeply incorporated in the author’s individual vision, bringing certain features of a neo-myth. The above features distinguish a concept-symbol from a figure-symbol used to provide logical emphases and cohesion among the elements of conceptual framework, as well as from the concept-frame which forms the plot component of the poem.
