Summary/Abstract: In this report we bring reconstruction of linguistic worldview of honor ‛česť’ in contemporary Slovak culture. We come out from methodology of linguistic worldview, which has ethnolinguistic character. In accord with this approach our research is based on system, questionnaire and text´s data, which we analyze and synthetize to the form of basic aspects (perspectives), on the basis of which is in current Slovak language conceptualized honor. As we can see, honor is semantic stabilized mostly as external expression of a deference to somebody. Complex of honor attributes acquired from system data is relatively poor, because it includes only aspects psychological, social and ethical. Questionnaire material extended especially ethical, psychological and social aspect with other relevant attributes and semantic perspectives. Text´s date manifest more aspects of honor (e. g. physical, religious aspects).
