Abstract
The present research reveals functional properties of emotional concept "Ekel" (disgust) and its linguistic representations in the modern German language. The emotion "disgust" can be defined as a basic emotion that introduces negative personal attitude to the fragments of reality. The mental representation of this emotion is an emotional concept with negative subjective assessments in its structure. The paper describes linguistic representations of disgust, defines its denomination, and outlines the paradigmatic relations of the lexeme Ekel and its linguistic contexts. The author believes that the emotion behind the lexeme "Ekel" fulfils three functions: biological, social, and protective. The biological function is aimed at removal of the object of disgust. The social function lies in the negative characterization of events and the actions of agents. The protective function is in the rejection of potentially dangerous fragments of reality.
