Abstract: 

The article investigates the naive language ideas about the memory as an inner organ inside of human body and the language means of memory processes representation. The main aim of the current article is to explore the images of memory imbedded in language structures. The author is interested in the concepts of memory processes shown in language units: the processes of memorizing, reserving and reproducing the perceived samples, The research gives evidence that memory has different image forms in discourse: the collected data show the specific structure and inner building of this invisible organ. Then the article lists the types of metaphorical representation of memory (memory as of water space, memory as of screen etc). Metaphorical concepts of memory in Russian are reproduced in a variety of models which interact, continually expand their number and include several lexeme meanings. Metaphorical representation of memory can model the language explication of all memorization process and define the language reflection of complicated processes inside our memory: processing, keeping and reproducing of information.
