contents <p>The article explores the conceptual modeling of dendronyms with a focus on the interaction between universal cognitive mechanisms and culture-specific linguistic features. Dendronyms, understood as names of trees and woody plants, represent a significant lexical domain where human perception of nature, cultural symbolism, and linguistic categorization intersect. The study examines how universal principles such as perceptual salience, functional relevance, and metaphorical mapping interact with national and ethnocultural factors, including mythological beliefs, religious symbolism, and traditional ecological knowledge. Based on comparative linguistic data, the article argues that dendronyms function not only as nominative units but also as conceptual constructs encoding collective experience and cultural memory. The findings contribute to cognitive linguistics, ethnolinguistics, and linguistic anthropology by demonstrating the dual nature of dendronymic conceptualization.</p>
