Modern linguistics researches are based on the principle of anthropocentrism and an interdisciplinary approach, a kind of response to this approach is the cognitive metaparadigm, which has been established in linguistics in recent decades. One of the key concepts in cognitive linguistics is a concept that has a complex structure. Migration has always been and an integral part of the history and development of mankind, which determines the relevance of the study. Migration, as one of the important sociocultural phenomena of modern global societies, is a complex, dynamic and multifaceted phenomenon affecting almost all spheres of human activity. Migration processes, in turn, affect language processes, which causes an increased interest of linguists in this topic. Migration linguistics is one of the rapidly developing areas of modern linguistics, it is an interdisciplinary and multidimensional study of various aspects of language within the dynamic process of human mobility. The article presents theoretical aspects of cognitive linguistics, in particular, such concepts as «concept» and its structure, «conceptualisation» are given. The present study examines the linguistic representation of the concept MIGRATION in the Russian National Corpus. The examples presented in The Russian National Corpus are classified into appropriate semantic modules and micromodules reflecting the characteristic communicative meaning of the concept MIGRATION.
