Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the conceptualization of the abstract notion lexicalized as truth in order to establish the conceptual metaphors as mechanisms of comprehension. The research rests on the postulates of the conceptual method, one of the crucial tools for examining meanings in cognitive linguistics. The research is being conducted on the Corpus of contemporary Serbian (SrpKor), from which three hundred different examples of a contextualized lexeme will be extracted, and the functional affiliation of the selected examples will be observed. A statistical analysis will be conducted, which involves insight into the frequency of the conceptual metaphorsʼ source domains. Finally, the elements in the conceptualization of this abstract notion which reveal cultural peculiarities of native speakers will be analyzed.
