The article is concerned with the images constituting the consciousnesses of the Yakut and Russian people, living in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), analysing verbal associations for the word-stimuli “home” and “Homeland”. The choice of word-stimuli is determined by the fact that the images existing in the linguistic consciousnesses of the Yakut and Sakha experimental subjects, living in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and uniting by the territorial unity, are of great interest now. The results of the research can be used as a way to illustrate different variations in the everyday consciousnesses of different ethnic cultures.
Keywords: Verbal Associations, Associative Meaning, Linguistic Consciousness, Correlates.
