Abstract [eng] In the present paper, an attempt is made to reveal the part of the content of the concept café in Lithuanian culture. In cognitive science, several types of concepts are distinguished. In a person’s consciousness who has visited a café at least once the typical view of this place is fi xated, which may be revised later. A café is related to some definite stereotypical activities as well. Thus it is possible to state that the concept café could be described applying such model that would be as the medium variant between the typical scheme and scenario. The typical scheme of the concept café in the Lithuanian world-view is created by the information of three types: the more particular one comes through vision and smell, the more abstract one is the result of appropriate experiences and skills. Firstly, a café is the place where the impression of oneness and holiday may be created: here people have a rest, celebrate or simply spend their time. In the texts, the environment of café is described in a very laconic way. There are the prototype of category and particular standard, thus in the language users’ consciousness the partially verbalized collection of features of a typical café would have to exist. One of the main descriptions of this place is the adjective cozy. There are more contexts where both the environment of café and the activities of people in this place are described positively. The information related to negative assessment of café is not so prolific, however it is much more concrete, thus it is possible to state that this what is good is applied to the whole category and negative characterizations are more related to exclusive and more concrete cases: the unpleasant environment and the situations that endanger the security or even the life of people.
